8 P.M. E.T. Virtual Tales of Chelm: How the Chelmites Stole the Moon
We're excited to partner with JArts TheatreWorks Group on Tales of Chelm, a series based on "The Wise Folk of Chelm" by Rabbi Seymour Rossel.
In this third installment in the Chelm series, Gimpel and Barel the Beadle concoct a plan to capture the moon and help the poor citizens of Chelm. Gimpel proposes that they capture the moon by bringing in a big barrel of borscht. When the moon is reflected in barrel, they seal and cover it to “entrap” it. However, upon uncovering the barrel, they realize that they have made a crucial mistake. This installment is jam-packed with zaniness and utilizes mask work. REGISTER →
