Boston, MA
April 2020

Conceived and directed by Sarah Plotkin
Join a group of inter-generational performers as they share their stories in response to the question “What does it mean to be Jewish today?”
Over a period of 10 weeks, these community performers used storytelling, writing, movement, and singing to explore their relationships with Judaism. The material they’ve created has been woven together for this sharing, highlighting experiences of belonging and otherness, traditions, spirituality, and hopes for the future.
Creating Our Stories was led by Sarah Plotkin as her thesis project for the Theatre Education and Applied Theatre masters program at Emerson College. Due to COVID-19 the performance was live streamed via Zoom.
