About the event
Sarah Sanders can’t decide what to do with a treasured family heirloom, and she’s getting desperate – so desperate, she’s turning to her dead Latvian Jewish ancestors for advice.
Ashkenazi Seance is a 70-minute solo theatre work and group ritual that mixes the spooky, kooky Jewishness of “Tevye’s Dream” from Fiddler on the Roof, with the intimate storytelling and audience participation of What the Constitution Means to Me. Through comedy, music, and rituals, Ashkenazi Seance explores American Jewish identity and legacy while searching for direction in the face of loss. As Sarah looks to the past, she must decide how to hold tight to familial traditions while adopting relevant customs of her own.
