Rec Room presents a revival of the acclaimed "The Jew Who Loves Christmas", a multi-media storytelling piece by playwright Abby Koenig. Many people can relate to the unique mix of joy and sadness that often accompanies the holiday season. Some can attribute their most pronounced memories to Christmas time, however, this supposed time of joy, merriment and togetherness can be anti-climactic when family dysfunction, consumerism, and loneliness threaten to compromise the celebration. Ultimately, the day that is the fixation of so much excitement, becomes the cause of exhaustion and disappointment, cementing Christmas as the most poignant annual commemoration worthy of a 9-foot pine tree covered in streamers and mint candy canes.
Our token Jewish evening in Rec Room's 1st annual Rec the Halls Xmas Week will also include scrumptuous potato latkes by an authentic Jewish mother! Who doesn't love a latke?!?
"Rec The Halls" is a week long holiday season celebration to break in our new space and get the city together for some Merry Merry and some Holly Jolly. List of events here: https://www.facebook.com/events/283877768673496/
