CBH Purimspiel: Mordechai – Such A Guy!

Saturday, March 15 | 7:00pm | Sanctuary or Zoom

Join us in the CBH Sanctuary or by Zoom for our annual Purimspiel!

A musical Purimspiel from the creative team who brought you “Vashti’s Revenge” and “Shalom Y’All”. It’s time to celebrate Purim with Congregation Bet Haverim’s world premiere of

“MORDECHAI – SUCH A GUY!”

An all new historically inaccurate version of the Book of Esther, in which a young woman survives the protective custody of her possessive Uncle Mordechai, a marriage proposal from King Ahashueras, and a life altering encounter with an angel to become the heroine of her people.

We’ll provide the groggers to drown out the sound of Haman’s name – you provide the laughter to drown out all our troubles! 

Cast includes Steve Fineberg, Meryl Rappaport, Virginia Lantry, Roy Kaplan, Libby Renkin, Roy and Carla Levin, Sarah Pattison, and newcomer Olivia Smith!

Comments we expect to hear from audience members:

“I laughed my tuchas off!”
“Make Purim Great Again!”
“I thought this was supposed to be about Shen Yun?!”

Don’t miss out! One night only! Purim only comes once a year!

Immediately after the spiel, we’ll head on over to the Social Hall for Bingo and the Great Hamantaschen Bake-Off!
