SUMMARY:Don’t Cry For Me: My Yeshiva
DESCRIPTION:$18 for members | $23 for non-members \nSet against the backdrop of the 2009 same-sex marriage referendum in Maine\, this 90-minute solo show follows a New York City filmmaker who gains rare\, behind-the-scenes access to both sides of a deeply divisive political campaign. In order to maintain that access\, he conceals his own identity as a gay man—forcing himself back into the closet after decades of personal struggle to live openly. \nWhat unfolds is both humorous and deeply personal: a fish-out-of-water journey as an outspoken\, high-energy city personality attempts to “pass” in unfamiliar territory\, navigating the emotional and comedic challenges of suppressing his true self. Blending storytelling and song\, the performance delivers a fast-paced\, theatrical ride filled with sharp wit and poignant reflection. \nFramed by the broader fight for marriage equality\, the show also explores the performer’s upbringing as the adopted son of an Orthodox rabbi and his lifelong search for belonging\, love\, and acceptance. The result is a heartfelt and entertaining exploration of identity\, resilience\, and the universal desire for connection
