In 2024, she participated in the Festival of New Jewish Plays, reading Yom Kippur Abortion and The Last Yiddish Speaker. Stiller explained that "both plays are exactly the kind of art that I want to be a part of for the rest of my life. Both characters are the kind of young women whose stories I feel so inclined and anxious to tell," Stiller <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-4IfS4OHrM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">wrote on Instagram</a>. "I have never been prouder to be pro-abortion, a woman, and a Jew."&nbsp;

Her schedule is empty. Her bestie&rsquo;s up for anything, and her boy&rsquo;s down bad. What more could a girl want? But when Becca Schwartz dies and starts racking up likes, Dilaria starts to wonder&hellip; is dying the ultimate glow-up?"
