Off Broadway Play: October 7
“An extraordinary ensemble of fourteen highly skilled actors tell the story…There is also Hadas (the excellent Alyssa Simon) and her young daughter Mica (Rebecca Lynn Goldfarb, making her Off-Broadway debut) who remain in hiding in a safe room at the kibbutz for most of the attack.” - Charles Kruger, Stageandcinema.com
“The testimonies of the survivors are delivered by the cast at a frenetic pace that conveys the terror and confusion of the day’s events…This involved both extended physical and emotional gymnastics on a mostly bare stage.” - Judd Hollander, The Epoch Times
“Told mostly in direct address monologues, the cast is uniformly excellent, and quick costume changes keep things moving.” - Brett Singer, theaterscene.net
“…The ensemble of about 14 avoids overacting and there is a weight to the play, The actors portray characters in fear and shock.” ~ Alan Zeitlin, jewishpress.com
“October 7 is set at the Nova festival and at a kibbutz, with 14 actors playing a variety of roles on a sparse stage … As I watched the action unfold, I thought that the actors perhaps were just regular people, not professionals, so convincing were they in their ordinariness. Because at its heart, the story of October 7 — is the story of ordinary people who are suddenly called upon to perform the greatest acts of heroism and bravery...” - Jenny Holland, Saving Culture from Itself
“The talented 14-person cast portray multiple characters with great empathy and emotion.” - Jill Schafer, cherryandspoon.com

“The daughters, Leah Mossman as Tzeitel, Ruthy Froch as Hodel, Rebecca Lynn Goldfarb as Chava, as well as younger actresses Giada Long and Addison Wasylyshyn as Shprintze, and Sonnie Betts and Sofia Da Costa-Wilson as Bielke, collectively perform effectively to highlight the main conflicts.” Deidre O’Brien, The Theatre Guide
