Miriam and Esther Go to the Diamond District
A production by Rainbow Zebra Productions LLC
Written and Directed by Andrea Gordon
Two sisters, Miriam and Esther, long estranged, meet at their wealthy stepfather's condo, 45 years after their
opera singer mother's death. They are there to sort through their mother's things before their stepfather's
widow sells the unit. Once there, they discover all kinds of secrets about their past, and work to find
forgiveness for each other and their past. In their treasure hunt, they are visited by ghosts of their mother and
pianist father, and find much more than they bargained for with their hearts finally laid bare. Filled with song,
music and dance, the play takes us on an immersive journey of what really matters- and how love wins no
matter what.
The cast of MIRIAM AND ESTHER GO TO THE DIAMOND DISTRICT features Ellen Brooks (Miriam), Janet Roitz
(Esther), Merrill Grant (Mom), and RP Welsh (Dad).
In addition to Ms. Gordon, the creative team includes Nina Ball* (Scenic Design), Beaver Bauer* (Costume
Design), Kurt Landisman* (Lighting Design), Chris Sauceda (Sound Design), Hector Zavala (Production
Manager), and Lee Brady (Dramaturg).
