Becoming Eve

By Emil Weinstein
Based on the memoir by Abby Chava Stein

DC Premiere

A jump through memory reveals Chava, the child of a dynastic Hasidic rabbinical family whose recently disclosed trans identity finds three rabbis fighting to save a family by building a bridge between orthodoxy and modernity, unraveling truths and secrets in a way that ensures no one will read the old stories the same way again. Em Weinstein’s acclaimed play explores the relationship between theology and humanity, asking questions that honor the timelessness of old texts and the opportunity to forge new paths of understanding, identity, and community.

A critically acclaimed adaptation of trans rabbi Abby Chava Stein’s powerful memoir that press calls “inventive” and “remarkable,” Becoming Eve resonates with every family as the bonds of tradition and love merge and part, calling on its participants to actively mend, understand, and create harmony both with what’s learned and what they are born to become.
