Camp
An in-person play reading
The third place winner of the 2021 Canadian Jewish Playwriting Competition, Camp juxtaposes two 15 year old girls' experiences—Lilah at Jewish sleepover camp and Greta- in a concentration camp. This research informed play explores themes of womanhood, trauma, sisterhood and resilience. Though separated through time, space and absolutely different life circumstances, both girls share stories of love, shame, overcoming oppression and singing as a form of resistance- leaving the audience with greater appreciation for the triumphs of young women and the importance of healing intergenerational wounds.
