Mari­na Gern­er is an award-win­ning finan­cial jour­nal­ist and Adjunct Pro­fes­sor of Cul­ture and Com­merce at NYU Stern School of Busi­ness. Her work has been pub­lished in The Economist’s 1843, The Wall Street Jour­nal, The Guardian, Finan­cial Times, Wired, The Times Lit­er­ary Sup­ple­ment, and Jew­ish Chron­i­cle. She has received a book grant from the pres­ti­gious Alfred P. Sloan Foun­da­tion for this book. Title: The Vagi­na Busi­ness: The Inno­v­a­tive Break­throughs that Could Change Every­thing in Wom­en’s Health Description: A crit­i­cal explo­ration into why male investors are afraid of the v‑word, what that means for women’s health and sex­u­al well­ness, and how we can over­come it. Women make over 80% of health­care deci­sions in the U.S. yet have been exclud­ed from design­ing the health sys­tem. It was only 1993 when women and POC were includ­ed in clin­i­cal tri­als. Heart attacks are the num­ber-one killer of women, but women are 50% more like­ly to be giv­en a wrong diag­no­sis. Only 4% of all health­care research is focused on women’s health issues. From peri­ods and child­birth to menopause, female pain has been nor­mal­ized, as soci­ety shrugs and says ​“Wel­come to being a woman” instead of com­ing up with bet­ter solu­tions.

Jewish Community Center – Maxine and Robert Seller Theater 2640 North Forest Road, Getzville, NY, United States

by Anna Ziegler Directed by JRT Artistic Director Saul Elkin Running February 6 - March 2, 2025 In this Off-Broadway hit, two marriages have seemingly little in common: Esther and Schmuli are Orthodox Jews navigating strictly defined rules and roles, while Sophie and Abe are secular and free to make their own choices. But both couples are growing apart as they strive to balance their individual identities with the families they've created. As Esther tests the boundaries of her personal freedom, Abe falls into a correspondence with a movie star that will shake the foundations of his marriage and career. From the playwright of JRT's hit production, Photograph 51, comes this funny, moving, and thoughtful play that asks if following one's truth is worth it, no matter the cost. Featuring an all-star cast including Arin Lee Dandes, Jordan Levin, Aleks Malejs, Alex Watts and Adam Yellen.
