Wednesday December 25, 2024 9:30am - 5:30pm EST
The projects we do each December in the Youth Theater Workshop are really asking "What time is it on the clock of the world? /  ?װיפֿל אַ װעלטזײגער איז עס  / How can our Yiddish languages, books, poems, songs, ancestral stories, and importantly *New York City itself * help us make sense of the moment we are in? How, as youth storytellers, can we use tradition and the stuff only we know to lift the spirits of our community (style, good outfits, jokes, music, dance moves, your favorite thing here) and create an enchanted space in which to think? We'll create an incredible theater show, with an original script, sets, and so much DrAmA (only the good kind! ) Led by Raya Ferholt-Wirz, Jenny Romaine and Ozzy Gold-Shapiro.
