Ben Kishman thought he found his ideal non-Jewish dream. But when his gentile fiancée finds out that she is really Jewish, Ben and his family each react differently to her enthusiastic immersion in her new found tradition. 

TEATRON Theatre assembled a great cast for BLUISH. The cast of six includes returning actors Ron Boyd (THE DYBBUK) and Andria Siegler (CHAIM'S LOVE SONG and THE GOD OF ISAAC) as well as Carrie Adelstein,Melissa Battey-Pratt and Bob Cooper. Noam Bergman, whose compositions were acclaimed in TEATRON'S production of THE DYBBUK last year, composed original music for the play. With our veteran Stage Manager and actor Kivi Shapiro at the helm, this show is a delight.
