Temple Emanu-El to launch a new youth theater production

Youth theater productions are being revived at Temple Emanu-El. This fall, teenagers from grades 6-12 are invited to participate in performing the play “13,” score by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown and book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn.

This is a story about “labeling,” fitting in and finding one’s own identity. There will be an informational meeting on Sept. 7 at 12:30 p.m. at Temple Emanu-El, 99 Taft Ave. in Providence. A light lunch will be provided. Auditions will take place on Sept. 14 at 12:30 p.m., and rehearsals will be held every Sunday thereafter, starting at 12:30 p.m.

The play will be performed the weekend of Dec. 13-14. Musicians to play in the band as well as stage crew, set designers and artists are also needed. All Rhode Island youth are invited to participate; you do not need to be a Temple Emanu-El member. In order to help defray the costs, there will be a nominal charge to participate. For more information, call Temple Emanu-El at 331-1616 and ask for Miriam Abrams-Stark.
