Post bar/bat mitzvah Jewish teens and allies are welcome to join our real teen theater project, Sunday evenings 5-7. We are currently practicing theater and improv exercises and reading sections of plays to choose a project for our first performance. Dinner is included. Schedule is intermittent so check here for dates or contact [email protected] to confirm.

After viewing the Silverthorn Theater production of Ann Frank, teens and their families are invited to meet for the launch meeting of Real Teen Theater of Temple Israel. We'll start at 4:30 at H&R and then continue, if we wish, to get some pizza together.
We'll discuss the goals for the project this year and set the best dates and meeting times for the teens who wish to participate. The leadership teen includes Rabbi Andrea, Christine Benevenuto, Susan Hollins and other friends of Temple Israel. Jews and allies are welcome to come and hear more.
