NOW PLAYING: L’Chaim America!

WORLD PREMIERE! A NEW THEATRE SHOW

With L’Chaim America!, The Braid, recognized as the nation’s leading Jewish storytelling theatre, invites audiences into the vibrant, complicated, and often overlooked contemporary experiences of American Jews in ways not seen before.

Foregoing sets, props, or costumes to focus on the pure art of storytelling, a handful of professional actors take on multiple roles. Be inspired by a Black Jewish storyteller recounting how Ashkenazi activists helped elect LA’s first Black mayor. Consider complex questions through a writer’s Native American and Jewish heritages. Have a seat at an Iranian refugee family’s Thanksgiving. Discover Jews in Wyoming’s windswept “cowboy country,” and celebrate as a Salvadoran immigrant reclaims his Judaism and lives the American dream. Enjoy these plus other original stories and songs.
