Description

Join us LIVE and IN PERSON for “Into the Spiel: a Sondheim Megillah!” This year’s Purim musical takes Sondheim’s fairy tale characters from “Into the Woods” and infuses hilarious comedy and original lyrics into our timeless Purim story. In “Into the Spiel: A Sondheim Megillah,” we enter the 5G-enabled fairytale kingdom of Shushan, where local tech mogul Haman Musk has a plan to boost charming King Ahasuerus’s plummeting approval ratings by holding a beauty pageant to replace the defiant influencer, Queen Vashti. But power soon goes to Haman’s head, and he sets off on a truly evil plan to kill Shushan’s Jews… If you can't join us in person, you can watch the spiel via livestreaming at swfs.org/live. This event is free, but please RSVP.  (Please bring a government-issued photo ID to this event.)
