Shul - A World Premiere

by Sheldon Wolf

April 27 - May 19, 2019

The remaining congregants of an old synagogue must decide what to do with their dilapidated building. Should they try to keep the congregation going, sell the building, or share it with members of another faith community? This funny, charming, and endearing new work explores what it means to be Jewish for different generations. To be directed by actor Robert Dorfman in his directorial debut.

There’s a hole in the roof (but not in their hearts).
