Somewhere in Between is a play that raises questions about our gender identity. In search of this identity, the play addresses issues regarding sexual identity, religious beliefs, political orientation and the role of the individual in society. The discussion exposes states of distress, pain, confusion, rejoicing, pleasure and enjoyment. The play consists of a collection of short scenes, poems, dialogues and monologues using humorous and poetic language. It was designed as “An introductory lesson in gender studies which is translated into small, intelligent, and human moments.…” Shai Bar-Yakov, Yediot Aharonot.

The play was premiered in the opening ceremony of Pride Month 2003 in Tzavta Theater in Tel-Aviv. It continues to run regularly in Tel-Aviv and around the country. The play also has had international success. It was performed in Zurich in the "Warmer Mai Festival" (May 2005), in San Francisco in the "National Queer Arts Festival" (June 2005) and in New York in the "Fresh Fruits Festival" (July 2005).
