“I have a few Jewish friends in Nashville,” Block says, “but they all had their own Seders to go to. So I just thought, since I had never led a Seder, I’d invite people over—all very creative types and, as it turned out, not one of them was Jewish.”

The play achieved staged readings at a serious level, then stalled over creative and business disagreements. “It fell apart in 2010,” Block recalls forthrightly. “It was all very frustrating.”
