In Babette in Retreat, a farce about love and responsibility, she was one of the most famous courtesans of her day, but now at 50, Babette has decided to retire to her country house, wanting to live in isolation, with only her beloved maid Charlotte for company. After a lifetime of pleasing others, she's ready to please herself. Unfortunately, her plans are destroyed even before her own arrival, as one by one those closest to her all come to the cottage wanting for something. Following its initial presentation, Babette in Retreat will be available on-demand through April 14th. This reading will benefit the Ali Forney Center.

Then, on Sunday, April 25th at 4:00pm EST, Play-PerView will present a performance of The Gett by Liba Vaynberg featuring Emmy and four-time Tony Award nominee Tovah Feldshuh (Golda's Balcony, "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"), Peter Mark Kendell (Blue Ridge, Top Gun: Maverick), Alfredo Narciso (Tiny Beautiful Things, "Manifest"), and author Liba Vaynberg ("New Amsterdam," "The Plot Against America") under the direction of Daniella Topol (Artistic Director, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater).

In Bad Jews, after a beloved grandfather dies in New York-leaving a treasured piece of religious jewelry that he succeeded in hiding even from the Nazis during the Holocaust-cousins fight over not only the family heirloom, but their religious faith, cultural assimilation, and even the validity of each other's romances.
