Mikvah Girls at Broadwater Main Stage

Mikvah Girls tells the story of two orthodox Jewish women in New Jersey who are supposed to be performing a monthly cleansing ritual at a mikvah. Instead, Aviva and Chava are actually holding meetings of their two-person Bruce Springsteen fan club and sharing their salacious fantasies about the Boss.

However, as fantasies shift and their outside lives begin to seep into this sacred space, they must grapple with the effects their religion has on their sexuality, identity, and desires. This irreverent new play explores the purpose and pressure of ritual with equal parts hilarity and complexity.
