Two Funny and Moving Short Plays - February 24

Congregation Beth Shalom presents in partnership with Classrooms Without Borders Two Israeli Monodramas: When the Omelet Touches the Salad and Jonathan, a one-man performance by Professor Roy Horovitz.

Roy performs readings of two humorous and moving stories of the heart. When the Omelet Touches the Salad centers on two anti-heroes, with each character presented in his own monologue. Jonathan is about an old woman taking in an abandoned baby, and demonstrates how people react during a crisis and the sometimes surprising decisions they make. Performance will be in English followed by a post-show discussion.
