Bubby’s Kitchen tells the heartwarming, true story of Shira Ginsburg’s journey from youth through her 30s as experienced in her grandmother’s kitchen. This one-woman production holds a poignant and heartfelt mirror up to anyone who has ever sat around the kitchen table and been filled with the richness of relatives and recipes. Having grown up in a family of resistance fighters and Holocaust survivors, Shira shares these bittersweet memories that illustrate the balance between new and old, responsibility and desire, and life and love. These moving moments are woven together on a sparse stage, with only a box full of familiar kitchen items, through the magic of monologue, Yiddish humor and musical theatre songs. Whether struggling to find real happiness in life or discovering the key to the “svelt” Ginsburg figure, the answers overflow like mandel bread and rugelach in Bubby’s Kitchen.
