How Do You Live With Family That Drives You Crazy?

March 22 & 23, 2025 7:30pm $12 adults, $10 students

Ruth Zweigman is not a pleasant person to be around. And now that Ruth can’t take care of herself – she’s recovering from several surgeries due to diabetes - the question of who she’s going to live with is a big one. While Ruth’s daughter, Miranda, has done everything in her power to create a family completely different than the one she came from, the painful loss of her brother – and perhaps a brief lapse in judgment - compels her to invite her complicated mother to stay with her before her son’s bar mitzvah. As other needy family members show up in search of connection and second chances, Miranda’s already-strained relationship with her family is pulled to its breaking point. With all the kin in one place, will they all stay in one piece? A warm, heart-filled comedy about the scars of childhood and finding love, all grown up.

“…a poignant tale of loss and love, of faith and forgiveness…[Rothstein] knows her craft. Her seven characters are finely drawn, thoroughly realistic. As their stories, wants and needs emerge, these complex, brave, funny characters take on a rich three-dimensionality and universality in their detailed individuality…ALL THE DAYS assures us that love and humor will prevail.” —Town Topics (NJ).

“…gripping…The show brings to the fore the intricacies of tangled and dysfunctional family relationships with both drama and comedy.” —BroadwayWorld.

“…[a] rip-roaring comedy…a script that will definitely keep you entertained…” —Princeton Found (NJ
