Upcoming Events:
Young Professional Take Over Night at Theatre Ariel
🗓️ Thursday, November 21 🕒 7:00 pm 📍Theatre Ariel — Philadelphia, PA
Tribe 12, NextGen, Moishe House Philadelphia, Young Friends of Rodeph Shalom, and Young Friends of Society Hill Synagogue are taking over Theatre Ariel, Philadelphia’s only Jewish theatre, for a one-night-only stage invasion of their production of Amsterdam! There will be opportunities to socialize and meet new people! After the show, enjoy a lively post-show chat with the creative team.
About the show: Four actors take us on the whirlwind, stream-of-consciousness journey of a Jewish woman living in Amsterdam who stumbles upon a long-forgotten gas bill from 1944. The bill’s implications send her on a riveting exploration of identity, legacy and life in diaspora. Immediate, theatrical and timely, you’ll want to be there when Theatre Ariel presents this unique production in its Philadelphia premiere!
