Ashkenazi Seance Immersive Event - Main Image

Sarah Sanders can’t decide what to do with a family heirloom, and she’s getting desperate—so she’s turning to her Jewish ancestors. This July, she’s gathering a minyan at The Brick Theater to partake in a seance and gain guidance from the root of her family tree. Is Ashkenazi Seance a play? A seance? A group ritual? Am I gonna be asked to SING? Yes. (But if you don’t want to, you won’t have to.) It takes a village to raise the dead — so come join us this July and see if we can cross into the spiritual realm... together!

About Ashkenazi Seance

From July 20th-23rd, the Brick Theater (579 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211) presents the world premiere of "Ashkenazi Seance," a spooky Jewish play with music,! Sarah Sanders can’t decide what to do with a treasured family heirloom, and she’s getting desperate — so desperate, she’s turning to her dead Latvian Jewish ancestors for advice. Ashkenazi Seance is a solo show and community ritual about American Jewish identity, family, music, and what it means to carry on a legacy. Also, it’s funny! Is "Ashkenazi Seance" a show? A seance? A group ritual? Am I gonna be asked to SING? Yes. (But if you don’t want to, you won’t have to.) It takes a village to raise the dead — so come join us this July and see if we can cross into the spiritual realm... together!
