ImageAlice Eve Cohen, the playwright, actor, and puppeteer whose plays for young audiences THE PARROT, THE BALINESE FROG PRINCESS, and adult piece, THIN WALLS, have been enjoyed by many at the Kitchen Theatre, has written a new show for young audiences to be performed at the Kitchen Theatre in February.

HANNAH & THE HOLLOW CHALLAH is a fun and funny adventure story told with puppets and infused with Alice Eve Cohen`s brilliant imagination.   It tells the story of a young girl, Hannah, who goes berserk over challah, her favorite bread.   One day she eats the inside of an entire loaf and the next instant finds herself inside the hollow challah, which flies out Hannah’s kitchen window and all the way to Bread Land. Hilarious, hi-carb complications ensue. The play is performed by two actors who play dozens of "rolls"! It`s great for all ages.

Alice Eve Cohen grew up hollowing challahs as a child.    Now she writes plays and solo theatre works that have been produced at New York Theatre Workshop, New Georges, Dance Theatre Workshop, HERE, The Women’s Project, Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, Philadelphia Women’s Theatre Festival, LA Women’s Theatre Festival, and festivals in Edinburgh, Galway, Oslo, Jerusalem, and Trinidad.    She is the recipient of two NYSCA playwriting fellowships, a First Light Fellowship from DTW, grants from NYSCA and the NEA, and an Emmy Award Commendation.

Alice has written for Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., CBS & CTW, and her fiction is published by Simon & Schuster.    Her parent guide, Your Child, the Arts and Children, was published last fall by The Center for Arts Education and translated into 9 languages.    She holds a BA from Princeton and an MFA from The New School, where she teaches solo theatre.
