PURIMSPIEL IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
|
|
Many of you have seen and enjoyed Bet Torah's wonderful annual Purimspiel, a beloved original production that is almost entirely congregant-produced. Believe it or not, the work on next year's Purimspiel is already starting! There is one thing we need to make it a success - you. If you enjoy watching Purimspiel, please consider helping or getting involved in any way. We very much need people who are willing to simply help with even a single production task, and we greatly appreciate all assistance! Some tasks require only a few minutes of time, such as sending out an email or sending information for
The Message
or Bet Torah weekly email. You might be willing to usher at the performance, or help coordinate rehearsal space needs, or do any of the many small but critical tasks that make the production Purimspiel. You might be interested in helping with stage crew or performing or being in the band. This year's show will take place Sunday, March 24, and rehearsals begin in early December.
If you are curious about Purimspiel, contact
