    Jewish Plays Project recommends DYBBUKS DON'T KNOW WHAT PILLS ARE as a Semi-Finalist 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. DYBBUKS DON'T KNOW WHAT PILLS ARE made a strong impact on our community of readers for the Festival of New Jewish Theatre in 2024, who connected with its current relevance and how it theatrically expressed the contest theme of healing & repair.
