"Sabbath Girl" Presented By Theatre Ariel Saturday, December 18 at 7:00 pm
Angie Mastrantoni has everything going for her—a job at a hip art gallery and a new apartment on the Upper West Side—except the time or hope for relationships. Then her neighbor Seth, a divorced Orthodox Jew with a knish store on the Lower East Side, knocks on her door. The Sabbath Girl is a contemporary romantic comedy about the loneliness of big-city life and the possibility of finding love next door.
