Summary
Please fill out this short survey. Go to: unpacked.bio/podsurvey. We want to hear from you! Can a musical teach Torah? Why is Fiddler on the Roof beloved in Japan? The answers to these questions could have implications for the future of the Jews and their place in the world. Noam sits down with Jennifer Tepper, a theatre historian, and Etai Benson, a Broadway actor, to discuss the art of crafting stories, and the innovative ways in which Judaism has intersected with the stage. If you’re interested in bringing Etai’s new show, The Book of Steve, to your synagogue or Jewish space, write to [email protected] Jennifer Tepper’s new book, Women Writing Musicals: The Legacy that the History Books Left Out is available here: https://a.co/d/00JNs0AJ Get in touch at [email protected].
