Renting out an original play, perfect for any frum girls' school. Based on an amazing true story, the script spans from WWI to WWII and follows a young American soldier through his journey of discovering Yiddishkeit, as well as the German-Jewish family that sparked his interest in Judaism. The play imparts the message that although being a Jew means having to make difficult choices, it is truly the path to happiness.

There are 23 scenes and 44 parts, including 5 main roles. Parts can easily be added or subtracted based on individual needs - the script is very flexible. Going for a reasonable rental fee. Please contact me if you would like a sample. Thank you!

What does it mean to rent a script? How is it delivered? Can it be translated? Is it appropriate for a non-Frum audience? How long approximately is the play? Can it be shortened?

Can it be done with only 8 actresses?

Renting a script means that you are allowed to use the script for one production. You can make as many copies as you need for it, but you're trusted to not share it or claim it as your own. It can be delivered by email or regular mail. If you want to translate it, that's fine, as long as you credit the original author.

One of the themes of this script is becoming more religious and the challenges that accompany it. There is also a fair bit of Jewish terminology. I would say it's aimed more at a Frum audience. The play is one and a half to two hours and it could probably be shortened by around fifteen minutes. (It would also be shorter if you chose not to add in any choirs or dances.)

As it is now, it would be challenging but possible. For a small amount extra, I could rewrite the roles to your specifications. Smile

If either of you would like to read a sample, please contact me!

4sisters - you might not be aware but this sounds like the kind of thing that should be a paid advertisement.
