Ishaq and Zeblyan are the last remaining Jews in Afghanistan. They share the only remaining synagogue that has not been destroyed by the Taliban. They share a mission to repopulate the Jewish community in Kabul. But they also hate each other. Can this Middle Eastern odd couple commit to one incredible act of faith to keep the diaspora alive without killing one other? A modern vaudeville full of schtick, sorrow, and survival.
"An uproarious comedy with a twist of faith… explores issues of faith, commitment and perseverance that keep audiences laughing and thinking long past curtain call." - The Jewish Ledger

From the playwright that took Clue from screen to stage, The Cottage is an outrageously roaring 20s romp that will have you laughing from start to finish. Set in 1923 in an English country cottage, a woman decides to expose her latest affair to both her husband—and her lover's wife. As secrets unravel and passions collide, the meaning of love, identity, and marriage are all thrown into question, and served in a way only the British can serve it: with tea. With shocking plot twists, scandalous reveals, and razor-sharp humor, The Cottage is a deliciously funny hit comedy where no one’s secrets are safe.

# A world-premiere play about the historic city of champions.

Written by DeAsia Paige
Directed by Kathryn Bentley

Shakespeare in the Streets is a theatrical experience that combines the history of one St. Louis community with a Shakespeare play.

This year’s project honors the historic East St. Louis neighborhood. Known as the City of Champions, it’s home to Olympic Gold Medalist Jackie Joyner-Kerse, jazz legend Miles Davis, global dance phenomenon Katherine Dunham and many more artists, poets, and athletes.

The new play will be inspired by stories of people of ESTL, and performed on stage in the streets in September 2025. This event is free. The website calendar shows that this even runs from 8AM - 5 PM, Friday - Sunday. So, I'm not sure WHEN the play will be performed? Also, I'll be unable to attend this, as we'll be out of town. So I'm posting this, basically to get the information out here. Would love for someone to let me know how it goes?
