Impact at The Tank in NYC
Rebecca’s original play, IMPACT was selected by The Tank NYC for a limited engagement February 2nd-8th!
Set against the backdrop of an upcoming Bat Mitzvah and based on a true story, Impact follows a family as they confront a shared trauma that has shaped and fractured their lives. What unfolds is an unexpectedly funny and piercing exploration of how families survive the moments that change everything, and what it takes to begin again. What happens when a family finally says the quiet parts out loud?
"A universal story about family, dealing with trauma, and Jewish joy."
- Stacey Maltin (Award Winning Producer & Filmmaker of Malka with Tovah Feldshuh)
"Family dynamics have always been a fruitful source of material for playwrights, and Rebecca Lynn Goldfarb’s IMPACT is a competent and provocative example."
- Jed Ryan (Lavender After Dark Reviews)
"Remarkable…Elegantly haunting.."
- Hank Kimmel (Immediate Past President for The Alliance for Jewish Theatre, Playwright)
"Quirky and sensitive... a flawed family in the wake of trauma."
- Robin Carus (Casting Director)
"Miss Goldfarb's writing is ahead of her time... her voice [in ‘IMPACT’] resonates through generations."
- Yair Ben Dor (Actor from MTC’s Prayer for the French Republic, Writer, and Producer)
