Events

Shalom Bayit (“peaceful home”) is a new play by Aleeza Schoenberg ’22. It takes place across several months in the same kitchen, with all but one scene occurring on a Friday afternoon as a Modern Orthodox Jewish family prepares for the Jewish Sabbath. In the play, three siblings grapple with faith; identity; sexuality; mental illness; and trying to support their friends, their family, and themselves. They strive to balance accepting their family members and gaining the family’s acceptance, while struggling to understand what it is in themselves they want others to accept. Directed by R.N. Sandberg.

Part of the Program in Theater’s New Works Festival, produced by Shariffa Ali.
