By Matthew Leavitt
Directed by Joel Zwick

With Andy Robinson, Natalie Lander, Liza Seneca, and Jonathan Slavin

One year after losing his wife to cancer, Patrick Sullivan is still unable to overcome his overwhelming grief, until a rabbi introduces him to Sukkot - the only Jewish holiday where God directly commands us to rejoice! Suddenly energized with this new purpose, Patrick builds a sukkah (a hut) in their yard and forces his three grown children to celebrate as they return home to attend their mother’s unveiling ceremony.

Sukkot is the hilarious and heartwarming story of a half-Jewish-half-Irish-Catholic family attempting to rejoice by celebrating a holiday that none of them had ever heard of.

Reviews

"Sukkot delivers big time! The laughs are so consistent, the characters so well-defined, the emotional arc so satisfying that the entire experience drives towards its inevitable standing ovation."
"A smart, moving, feel-good time with lines you'll leave quoting, exemplary direction and acting, and a family that is unique but universal." – Larchmont Buzz

"Sukkot is a richly drawn and beautiful play celebrating both our diversity and our similarity. Our losses and our triumphs, our connections and our habits of fighting with them."
"Utterly brilliant! Matthew Leavitt has written something hilariously true and heartfelt and also managed somehow to imbue it with moments of aching poignancy skillfully pocketed amongst the funny and the painful." – NoHo Arts District

"All elements in the production come together to form a nuanced and gripping story of a family in crisis. This is a must-see production for anyone who grew up in a family – and that probably includes all of us." – LA Splash Magazine
