THE GOD OF ISAAC

By James Sherman

It’s 1977 and Skokie, Illinois native Isaac Adams has been pretty laid back when it comes to his Judaism. Just ask his gentile wife. But when Neo-Nazis plan to march in his old neighborhood – home to over 40,000 Jews, including thousands of Holocaust survivors – Isaac faces a moral conundrum: how should he respond to this blatant anti-Semitism in his own backyard? What does he owe to his family, his people, his faith – and himself? Isaac wrestles with it all as he explores the quirky ways we connect with our heritage. His journey will leave you laughing – and thinking.

​THE GOLDSMITH

by Sharone Sayegh

Stemming from Broadway's Sharone Sayegh's true family's journey, The Goldsmith is a treasury of stories woven through the golden jewelry passed down through her family across countries, borders, and generations. Each piece of jewelry takes us further along her family's forced flight from Iraq to Israel, and then to America, where Sharone grapples for love as a first generation Iraqi, Israeli, American Jew. As she wrestles with identity, belonging, multiplicity of self, and acceptance, this solo play moves, surprises, and inspires the audience to investigate the stories and legacies with which we adorn ourselves throughout our lives.

Praise for Sharone Sayegh’s performances:
 

“the fiery Sharone Sayegh, brought tenderness and

laughter to the audience each time she graced the stage.”

- Emily Short, Broadway World
 

“Sharone Sayegh… dominate[s] the stage in what can only be described as an electric display of true art.”

- Jacob Ruscoe, Broadway World
