Spanning 70 years of history, this funny, touching tribute to three
generations of Jewish women reveals what binds them and what divides them,
the changing roles of women and the constant power of family love.  This
wonderfully comedic Jewish family saga derives its title from a phrase in
the Hebrew prayer book, l'dor v'dor (from generation to generation).
Russian immigrant Bessie (Barbara Haas) married a man chosen for her, kept
her accent, cooked gefilte fish and lived in fear.  Her daughter Mary
(Jeanne Task) is trapped between status quo and women's lib.  Growing up in
the times of Roosevelt, she became a wife and mother, surrendering her gift
for painting and any thought of a career.  Mary's daughter Deborah (Liz
Conway) gets to be her own person, but must learn to balance living in the
contemporary world and carrying on a legacy.

Playwright James Sherman is the author of Mr. 80%, The Escape Artist, This
Old Man Came Rolling Home, Jest a Second!, Romance in D, Affluenza!, The Ol=
d
Man's Friend, Magic Time, The God of Isaac, and Beau Jest, a past hit at th=
e
Halle Theatre.  He began his professional career as a writer and performer
with The Second City in Chicago.  Since 1986 he has been a
Playwright-in-Residence at the Tony Award-winning Victory Gardens Theater i=
n
Chicago, where Beau Jest was the most successful play in the theater's
27-year history.  He currently teaches playwriting and improvisation at
DePaul University and Columbia College of Chicago.

Equity actor Barbara Haas (Bessie) returns to Cleveland where she performed
many roles while living here with husband Ken and their family in the 70s
and 80s.  More recently, she's worked at Philadelphia's Wilma Theatre,
Boston's American Repertory Theatre, New York City's Century Theatre, the
92nd Y, New Jersey's TheatreFest and more.  She's played Aida Melfi on The
Sopranos and several comic characters for Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Two
Family House, and Keeping the Faith.
