In Skip & Rivka's..., the audience "plays" the guests at the unlikely marriage of Skip Gold, a budding young musician and son of a fading soap-opera star, and Rivka Nussfogel, the ultra-religious daughter of an angry Brooklyn butcher and his observant wife. The affair brings together divergent family members and friends...and their divergent attitudes and conflicts. Can they learn to accept one another and celebrate like the new couple so deeply desires?
