MAINSTAGE | WORLD PREMIERE
MARSHA BLOVOTNICK AND THE MARVELOUS MAGICAL CHICKEN SOUP
By Dan Kitrosser
At The Bluver Theatre @ The Drake, 302 S. Hicks Street, Philadelphia (Between Spruce and Pine Streets and 15th and 16th.) ​​​​​
Marsha is angry. At the world. At her ex-wives. At her nephew. And especially at her sister -- who has just invited herself over for Shabbat dinner. Marsha doesn’t know how she’ll get through the evening... and then a mysterious ancestor appears bearing a pot of magical chicken soup that just might heal the world. Will Marsha simmer down long enough to actually serve the magical soup?
Could this “Jewish penicillin” truly be the cure for what annoys her? Find out in this hysterical and tender World Premiere from one of Philly’s funniest writers!
​
From the two-time "Fringie" winner and brilliant local playwright who brought you Why This Night? and one of the Good For the Jews one-acts!

MARSHA BINGO
A game about bad habits, petty thoughts, and being human.
You’ve been seeing Bingo squares show up, one by one.
Here’s what they add up to.
Play honestly.
Or don’t.
But Marsha will know.
