Capture the Moon and Elijah's Violin
Capture the Moon
By Ernest Joselovitz and Harry M. Bagdasian
A long time ago, before street lights were invented, the people in a Jewish shtetl were too poor to have lanterns to light their way around their village on moonless Sabbath nights. So what do they do? They come up with imaginative ways to capture the full moon!
Based on Jewish folktales of Chelm, and laced with irony and wit, this funny new play for young actors and audiences of all ages takes a light-hearted look at what it's like to be different. It's also a celebration of simple wisdom, tolerance and how every one of us is unique.
Elijah's Violin
A Jewish Fairytale by Howard Schwartz
Adapted for the stage by Cindy Lewis
A short play opening for Capture the Moon, Elijah's Violin is an ancient Jewish fairytale from Egypt retold by local writer Howard Schwartz. King Khaba is off to war and promises a gift to each of his three daughters upon his return. Though the youngest daughter only wishes for her father's safe return, she is advised to ask for a particular violin, which in turn brings wondrous gifts and teaches what is most important in life.
