Sam Sherman Kaddish (How to be a Sanctuary)

Theatre

18+

Sam and his dead grandpa have a conversation about everything from fighting fascism to growing up with mobsters – all with the help of a mystical creature from Yiddish folklore. Developed from the private journals of Saul N. Sherman, a Jewish WWII veteran blended with the writings from his grandson, Sam Sherman Kaddish (How to be a Sanctuary) explores what our ancestors can teach us about the messy path towards standing up for what is right.

Intrepid, stirring, and utterly vivid
