Join the 5-piece band, 20 members of the Gettin’ Higher Choir and 17 actors in a staged reading and sing-a-long complete with fun prop bags.
A universal story of hope, love, rejection and acceptance, Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of Tevye the dairyman’s lionhearted attempts to hold on to cultural and religious traditions despite sweeping social changes upsetting his values and threatening his town’s existence. Forced to choose between his daughters’ happiness and his culture’s beloved traditions, Tevye is trying to balance life — like a fiddler on a roof. One of Broadway’s first musicals to deal with persecution, poverty and holding to one’s beliefs

Men Overboard by Rich Orloff
Written by Rich Orloff and Directed by Kevin McKendrick
Winner of the Long Beach Playhouse New Play Contest and a finalist for the Woodward-Newman New Play Award, Men Overboard, focuses on a Bar Mitzvah for a boy who doubts he’s ready to become a man. The boy’s Bar Mitzvah brings together his politician father and two brothers, a therapist, and a Buddhist monk. Add their fading but forceful father and the boy’s Bar Mitzvah tutor, a woman who loves the boy and possibly one of his uncles, and it’s easy to see that the boy is torn between obedience and defiance of his father.
Tensions grow, affecting everyone in the family, until anger becomes abuse and it becomes clear that the family’s status quo is no longer an option. Men Overboard asks “What makes a man?” as it explores the responsibility each of us has to protect the souls of those we love.

Dear Anne, from Nina
by Claudia Haas and directed by Zelda Dean
In 1940, a young Iowa farm girl picked the name of a pen pal out of a hat: Anne Frank, for a brief but heartfelt correspondence. While Nina and her sister Jeannie strive to escape their Iowa farm home and be “citizens of the world”, Anne and Margot long for a world where they could live without restrictions and hate.
LOCATION: Congregation Emanu-el 1461 Blanshard Street

Until the Flood by Dael Orlandersmith
The political power of theatre is confirmed in this quietly, moving show which captures the reactions of Ferguson, MO residents to the 2014 shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. The play is a composite of a variety of voices, from angry teenagers to reflective elders, all struggling to come to terms with the issue of race on its most personal level – their own. This is a collaboration between Bema Productions, Langham Court Theatre and Attitude Theatre .

“This play gives expression to America’s racial stalemate with lyrical flow. Written with as much empathy as outrage ’Until the Flood’ quietly assures that the struggle lives on.” – Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times.

Leipzig by Wendy Graf
A multi award-winning play that explores the journey of an Irish Catholic family when the mother descends into Alzheimer’s, unwittingly revealing her long-held secret that she is a Jewish child refugee of the Holocaust. Past and present collide in a psychological homecoming that raises deep and ultimately moving questions about identity. The play is a beautiful exploration of religious identity, loyalty, parental bonds and attendant feelings of safety or threat. It is a plea for inclusion at a time of fear and religious polarization.
