Written by Joelle Lindsay Directed by Mitchell Cushman Zalmy lives a double life. By day, he drives a Chabad "Mitzvah Tank" through 1990s New York City, performing good deeds with his best friend Shmuel. By night, he neaks out of his orthodox community to roller-skate and listen to rock and roll. But when a curious outsider offers him unfettered access to the secular world, is it worth jeopardizing everything he's ever known? This bromance is a funny and heartwarming ode to the turbulence of youth, the universal suspicion that we don't quite fit in, and the fait and friends that see us through it. "This award-winning play brought laughs, gasps and tears to a captivated audience." - Jewish Journal "In a world where anti-Semitism is again on the rise, where synagogues are targeted by vandals and terrorists, TRAYF is a bulwark against the ignorance that contributes to such acts." - Broadway World Boston
