Toni Cervino as “Isabelle” and Elaine Rembrandt as “Bubbie”

Excerpts from The Free Times review

“appealingly gentle and unpretentious”

“wistful” “unassuming charmer”

“a naturally warm, emotionally measured production”

“Any time director Fred Sternfeld takes on a project, you can be sure its human aspects will be given priority and once again, that’s happily true here.” “adeptly leading his cast”

“…he takes particular pains to emphasize the characters’ touches of feeling and insight that mark them as empathic fellow beings.”

“solid and winning performances”

James Damico, Cleveland Free Times 1999


Ruthy Grant Friedman as “Hannah” and Elaine Rembrandt as “Bubbie”

Excerpts from The Cleveland Scene review

“the cast … merits a drumroll and a crash of symbols”

“Ideal kosher balm”

“affirms the sanctity of old world values”

“audaciously reactionary yet somehow as comfortable as an old slipper”
