A co-production with Artists Repertory Theatre, in association with Portland State University
2:00 pm matinees on Sundays
Nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play of 2017. Sholem Asch’s play The God of Vengeance made a splash on Broadway in 1923, when it was shut down and all of the actors were arrested on charges of obscenity for portraying a lesbian romance between a brothel-owner’s daughter and one of the prostitutes. Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Paula Vogel weaves scenes of Asch’s incendiary play with the imagined conversations with the risk-taking company that brought the script to the stage. Indecent is a riveting backstage drama filled with music, groundbreaking Yiddish theatre, and stage magic.

An innovative event that bridges the home to school connection and allows students to express their creativity while learning a wealth of information on a topic that interests them. Students choose a Torah related topic, research it and then present their learning at the fair.
Presentations on their topic include [dependent on grade level]:
Dressing-up as a character,
Creating props and a backdrop
Writing a report, and
