Crossing Delancey by Susan Sandler
A play from Samuel French, Inc.

Isabel (Izzy) is a modern young woman who lives
alone and works in a book shop. When she is not
pining after the handsome author, Tyler, she is
visiting her grandmother, Bubbie, in Manhattan's
Lower East Side. This delightfully nosey old
lady and her friend, Hannah, the matchmaker have
found a "good catch" for Isabel, Sam, the
handsome pickle vendor.

The Characters:
Bubbie-a feisty, sharp-witted woman in
her seventies or early eighties. Must have a
convincing Yiddish accent.

Isabelle-“Izzy” Grossman, Bubbie’s
granddaughter, in her late twenties or early
thirties.

Hannah-a large woman in her fifties or
older, a professional matchmaker. Must
have a convincing Yiddish accent.

Tyler-handsome, charming and self-
involved; in his forties.

Sam-a pickle man and poet; gentle,
intuitive, appealing and wise; early thirties
or forties.
