"The 6th Act always manages to come up with their own quirky and slightly surreal version of something we all know. This quirk not an affectation, not some psychotic twist just for the sake of it. It is a very specific and very deliberate cunningly perceptive shift in how they approach their choices. They look for the magic between the lines, hidden in the shadows of the story, or in the subtle nuance of the characters, and through it they find their center. It all works to breathtaking effect, I can resoundingly attest to that."

SUKKOT is the hilarious and heartwarming story of the Sullivan family, a half-Jewish-half-
Irish-Catholic family attempting to rejoice by celebrating an obscure Jewish holiday that no
one has ever heard of.
One year after losing his wife to cancer, Patrick Sullivan is still unable
to overcome his overwhelming grief, until a rabbi introduces him to the little-known Jewish
holiday of Sukkot - the only holiday where God directly commands us to rejoice! Suddenly
energized by the holiday, Patrick builds a sukkah (a Jewish hut) in their yard and forces his
three grown children to celebrate with him as they gather at the family house to attend their
mother’s unveiling ceremony.
