Connecting Dot: A Kindred Revue (2024)

Excerpts

Connecting Dot is an absurdist cabaret musical that addresses the existential crisis known as Jewish womanhood. Amy “Dot” Iaccarino is a starving actress moonlighting as a bartender in Hell’s Kitchen. On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, she is visited by a divine presence, and the encounter flourishes into a miraculous vaudeville revue starring her ancestors (among them a grandiose narcissist, a jazz-singing mafiosa, and a rebellious immigrant from the Old World). Amy begins to see herself in their stories and mannerisms, and comes to terms with the centuries-long conflicts that live on through her.
