The intergenerational cast and musical team included more than 60 people from Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist and Orthodox congregations and independent minyanim, including local clergy.

The show was produced by ShpielBurgh Productions, which was created by Elinor S. Nathanson and Sara Stock Mayo with their inaugural production of last year’s “Hadassah, A Persian Musical Purim Shpiel.”
