Becoming Eve, adapted by Emil Weinstein from Abby Chava Stein's memoir, tells the story of Stein's journey growing up in a prominent Hasidic rabbinical dynasty and her decision to live openly as a transgender woman. As three rabbis debate how to reconcile tradition with identity, the play explores how ancient texts can be understood in new ways. This DC premiere closes Theater J's 2026–2027 season at the Edlavitch DCJCC's Aaron & Cecile Goldman Theater.
