Jewish Plays Project would like to acknowledge that AN AMAZING PESADIC CHOCOLATE CAKE received Commended status for our first Ten Minute Play Contest OOF: On One Foot, which searched nationally for plays from artists of all backgrounds responding to our prompt on healing & repair. Our Artist Panel readers appreciated the craft, style, and creativity, as well as how it theatrically expressed the first annual contest theme of healing & repair.

This play starts with the familiar: A host of a popular TV cooking series demonstrates how to make a traditional holiday cake. But then Melinda Gros takes a brilliant turn that shows us how an ordinary act like baking set against grave circumstances can be a powerful tool that brings hope, connection and unity.
