On Sunday April 6, at 5:00 PM, the Ways and Means Committee will welcome the Passover Season by presenting a gala extravaganza consisting of not one, not two, not three, but four major events!
The headliner will be the world premiere of a new play by Mishkan Torah playwright Itsy Kliman, entitled “Why Is This Year Different?” Prior to the play, Mishkan Torah’s multi-talented Pied Piper, Bret Goldstein, will regale the house with Passover songs and narrative. The evening will also feature a delicious dinner catered by the Sisterhood. Finally, the evening will also include that Mishkan Torah seasonal favorite, the annual Passover wine tasting featuring our resident Passover oenologist Dan Lowery.
“Why Is This Year Different?” is a heart-warming, insightful original play by Itsy Kliman about the misadventures of a contemporary family preparing to celebrate the first seder. The play captures the mood, spirit, and theme of the Passover season in a modern context, and provokes both laughter and more serious thought. Itsy’s son, Todd Kliman, is directing the production. The play revives a Mishkan Torah tradition over thirty years old by bringing back the Stage 18 Players. You will be able to enjoy the play in an intimate dinner theater setting, along with Bret’s pre-play performance. The cast features both veteran and several new Mishkan Torah performers.
You will not want to miss this incredible evening combining the best features of a dinner theater and more! Tickets are only $18 for adults and $12 for pre-teens. You may make reservations by calling the Mishkan Torah office at 301-474-4423 or by using the online reservation form on the Mishkan Torah website; you may also pay online. Hope to see you there!
