November 8 - 25

Hedwig and the Angry Inch won the 2014 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical Revival and has been labeled "the best rock musical ever!" by Rolling Stone magazine.
The cult classic is told through of one of the most unique characters to ever hit the stage: Hanschel, a "slip of a girly-boy" from communist East Berlin, becomes the "internationally ignored song stylist" known as Hedwig after a botched sex change operation. With a little help from her band and her back-up singer Yitzhak, Hedwig examines her quest for her other half, for love and, ultimately, for her identity.
Presented by the Carbonell Awarding-winning
Slow Burn Theatre Company.

"Like rye bread, kosher pickles, and bagels, this show is for everyone! You'll laugh 'til you plotz."
January 9 - February 10

Old Jews Telling Jokes showcases five actors in a comedy that pays tribute to and reinvents classic jokes of the past and present.  It celebrates the rich tradition of Jewish humor "and all the rabbis, complaining wives, fed-up husbands, patience-challenged physicians, gossiping ladies and competitive men" populating it. The humor can be suggestive (sometimes even raunchy) as the 'Old Jews' make fun of themselves as well as followers of every other religion.
