New Sensory-Friendly Play
May 23, 2023
"Rite of Passage" a new semi-autobiographical play by 25-year-old Izzy Salant will debut as a professional production at The Windhover Center for the Performing Arts, July 13 through 30. Salant, a graduate of UMass, Amherst and the Kennedy Center Playwriting Intensive, brings his family's story to life with an amazing sensitivity grounded in love and faith.
"In this true story, a tragic secret haunts Harold while he is preparing for his Bar Mitzvah," explained Myriam Cyr, Punctuate4 artistic director. "He wants to know why his mother suddenly died and what are others not telling him. Written with a mixture of love, faith, and humor, 'Rite of Passage' is a touching story of a young man and his father coping with loss as they rebuild their family and hope for the future."
