BRT's 2014 summer offering, Olive and the Bitter Herbs, swings a little less way off Broadway! How, you ask? Via Olive's Tony-nominated playwright (The Tale of the Allergist's Wife), Charles Busch, that's how! The playwright also wrote and starred in the film, Die, Mommie, Die!, featuring Stark Sands, now starring on Broadway in Kinky Boots! Olive director, Mia Moravis met Sands, who says, “Die, Mommie, Die! was my first drag role, and Olive is one of my favorite Busch plays!”

Olive and the Bitter Herbs centers around curmudgeonly Olive Fisher, a retired New York actress who suddenly sees a ghost in her mirror. That, though, is the least of her problems. Her radiator's broken, the couple next door stink up her apartment with exotic cheeses, and the highlight of her long career was a sausage commercial in the '80s. Despite that she's not the most popular tenant in the building, her neighbors invite themselves into her life and she finds herself hosting a Passover Seder. But are Olive's guests there to see her, or the mysterious man in her mirror? Olive and the Bitter Herbs is a comedy about connecting to the people in our lives-those with us, and those who have passed on…
