Jordan Berman (Slater) would love to be in love, but that’s easier said than done. So until he meets Mr. Right, he wards off lonely nights with his trio of close girlfriends. But as singles’ nights turn into bachelorette parties, Jordan discovers that the only thing harder than finding love is supporting the loved ones around you when they do.
The staged reading is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. and in partnership with Out at the J and the JCC’s Selma and Lawrence Ruben Center for 20s + 30s.Together with its community, the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan creates opportunities for people to connect, grow, and learn within an ever-changing Jewish landscape.
