Edith Vs. Quarantine: 89 & One Tough Cookie @ FringePVD

Edith Shlivovitz, a ferociously spirited octogenarian, hasn’t left her apartment since Covid-19 descended upon NYC. Through belting showtunes to her taxidermied cat, pretending to be a snake, Zooming with her long-dead husband, and much more, she shares her journey during these solitary months and the lessons learned along the way.

She has performed in numerous venues nationally and internationally, which includes touring several festivals with her solo shows The Jew in the Ashram (Whitefire Theatre’s Solofest, Charm City Fringe, Minneapolis Fringe), How To Suffer Better (Edinburgh Fringe, Edmonton Fringe, Pittsburgh Fringe – Best Actress Award Winner), Camp Smile Power (PortFringe) and One Breath, Then Another: An Interactive Yoga Show (San Francisco Fringe, PortFringe, Rochester Fringe).
