Not that 'she wished it to be, but that it happened.' " Urist has "very high hopes" for her career. She is presently work- ing on a screenplay from a novel by Dov Beril Edelstein -called Worlds Torn Asunder, has two plays in production and another in the wings.' People who know her say she is a "doer," a mover. Jeffrey Sellers director of Shtetl Tales and an actor in Blueprints says Urist's writing "means a lot to her." He adds that Urist "has a wonderful sense of Jewish culture, and in Shtetl Tales she really captures the humor that pervades shtetl life in the face of poverty, pogroms and persecution." But Urist mostly wants to give people something to talk about.
