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!
