SEVEN JEWISH CHILDREN starts tonight: Thoughts from Churchill

Posted on March 25, 2009 in Seven Jewish Children

The Theater J reading performance of SEVEN JEWISH CHILDREN starts tonight at 8pm.  We will be picking up the play on Friday night with additional performances on Saturday (10:15pm) and Sunday (1:00pm).  All the info you need is here.

Ari Roth (who directed the piece with our Michael Dove) has been in correspondence with the playwright, Caryl Churchill.  The first part of her thoughts are posted over on Theater J's blog.  More of Churchill's response will be shared at the various readings of the play, as well as select readings of two pieces from authors moved to respond to Churchill’s play: Seven Palestinian Children by Deb Margolin and The Eighth Child by Robbie Gringras.

Caryl Churchill

Also on their blog, you will find Josh Ford's post:

Why Do a Reading of Churchill’s “Seven Jewish Children” at a Jewish Theater?

Mr. Ford is the Chief Programming Officer at the Washington DCJCC.
