Thursday Evening, March 13
Following Megillah | Levy Auditorium | Registration coming soon
This Purim, we journey back to 16th century Mantua, city of love, intrigue, and…rabbis! All while enjoying a festive dinner. Shearith Israel’s own theater troupe Los Bilbilicos – led by Baruch-Lev Kelman, Adams Kornblum, and Shearith Israel League President Laurent Nahon – will offer a sneak peak of their upcoming production A Wedding Comedy, adapted from Leone de Sommi Portaleone’s hit play Tsahot Bedihuta de Kiddushin (c.1550). This unique Jewish twist on the classic Romeo & Juliet starcrossed lovers tale definitely won’t be like anything you’ve seen before!
