Special Partner Event - Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story
Co-Presented with Chutzpah!
Chutzpah! Audience Appreciation with Ben & Bagels
Featuring Ben Caplan (Canada)
Join fellow Chutzpah! fans for this remarkable musical journey, plus a special kibbitz with co-writer and star Ben Caplan. Ben will chat with Hope Forstenzer, director of the Sidney & Gertrude Zack Gallery, followed by bagels, schmear, and schmoozing. Offered at a special discounted price just for Chutzpah! fans.
This Klezmer-folk music-theatre hybrid starring genre-bending sensation Ben Caplan is inspired by the true stories of two Jewish Romanian refugees coming to Canada in 1908. It’s a humorously dark folktale woven together with a high-energy concert about how to love after being broken by the horrors of war.
It’s about how to love after being broken by the horrors of war. It’s about refugees who get out before it’s too late, and those who get out after it’s too late. And it’s about looking into the eyes of God.
