A Light in the Night (Dec 2-10)
Directed by Margi Zitelli
A World Premiere by Les and Elana Hunter

Rehearsals begin by end of October

Judith is frustrated because her family has moved to a new house. And what’s worse? They forgot the box with the family menorah and can’t even make latkes. When her parents go out to get oil and potatoes, she takes off on her bike to go to the old house and get the menorah herself. When she gets there, she finds that it has magically come to life, and that her help is needed to save Hanukkah, now, and in the time of the Maccabees. Will she have the courage to take on this quest? The play focuses on being brave and standing up for what is right.
