The History of the Jewish People…In 54 Minutes!

THE HISTORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE…IN 54 MINUTES!

December 10-13, 2026

By Steven Schipper

Thousands of years. No intermission.

Directed by Steven Schipper

A mostly comedic, sometimes poignant, and always uplifting celebration of Jewish history! At a time when understanding our past feels more important than ever, this new play reminds us that our history is not just something we inherit, it is a story we continue to write, and each of us has a role to play in shaping its next chapter.

“The single most important challenge facing the Jewish people, in Israel and the Diaspora, is to recover the Jewish story.” — Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

Generously Supported by the Gail Asper Family Foundation.
