Good Mourning

by Jared Sprowls

Mourner sits shiva for his late sister...twenty years too late. Through dramatized Jewish ritual, he wonders how we best hold onto memories as they only get farther away. Audiences are invited to slow down in this intimate solo show where we take time to remember when it often feels easier to forget.

    Jewish Plays Project congratulates GOOD MOURNING for receiving our COMMENDED status for the 15th National Jewish Playwriting Contest in 2025. Commended plays received strong advocacy for consideration through our signature Jewish Artistic Democracy community reading process out of the 315+ plays we received. Our readers appreciated the reflections on the traditions of shiva and we hope this plays further development on its journey to production.
