"Acorn in the Dark"

by Jonathon Ward

On the night a son comes to move his father into his home, he discovers his father, who took a DNA test through 23 and Me, is not Jewish although he raised his son to be. The Conservative beliefs of the son and the secular faith of the father threaten their faith in their family.

    Jewish Plays Project would like to acknowledge that ACORN IN THE DARK 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.
