'THE JEW IN THE ASHRAM Announced At Charm City Fringe Festival

When a struggling young woman studies yoga on an Indian ashram, a cheerful guru's lessons provoke reflections on the role of Judaism in the lives of her late father and his mother, a Holocaust survivor he never met. A funny, poignant, lightly interactive solo show exploring spiritual healing and identity.
