"Handle With Care tells the story of a young Israeli woman who reluctantly travels with her grandmother to America," press notes state. "Fate and hilarious circumstances bring together the young woman, who has little command of English, and a young American man with little command of romance. Is their inevitable love an accident? Or destiny generations in the making?"
The creative team includes David Arsenault (set design), Cory Pattak (lighting design), Martin T. Lopez (costume design), Wojcik|Seay (casting) and Brierpatch Productions (general management).
