Black Box Studios proudly presents the first revival of the acclaimed long-running comedy/drama “Twist of Faith” at The Black Box Performing Arts Center of Teaneck. This revised production of the Off-Broadway hit is written and directed by Michael Gurin and based on an original concept by Matt Okin. Featuring two extraordinary young professional actors, Jake Levine and Joseph Ramondino, “Twist of Faith” will play a special Tuesday night run from November 9 through January 11 at 9:15 p.m. at Black Box Studios’ new home, Teaneck’s Black Box Performing Arts Center at 200 Walraven Drive (GPS: 290 Walraven Drive), just off Palisade Ave. in Teaneck.
In the play a wealthy young stock trader totally indifferent to his Jewish heritage is ‘forced’ to spend a Sabbath in the religious section of Boro Park, Brooklyn. During this experience, he forms an unexpected bond with Baruch, a nervous young Orthodox Jew who, soon after this encounter, has his faith crushed after a series of life-altering events. While the trader ultimately comes to embrace the very faith which Baruch seems to be leaving behind, the friends courageously search together for the meaning of existence.
