DESCRIPTION OF PIECE
​
Before 10.7.23, actor/playwright/educator Sandra Laub wrote and performed her solo play, “Picking Up Stones: An American Jew’s Moral Dilemma,” a cri de coeur from a liberal American Jew critical of right-wing Israeli policies. After the shocking October 7th Hamas massacre of 1200 Israeli citizens and others, and Israel’s retaliatory war waged in Gaza, Laub rewrote her play, dramatizing new voices and new perspectives emerging in the wake of grief, anger, heartache, and fear. Her new play, “Picking Up Stones: An American Jew Wakes To A Nightmare” is Laub’s reaction to the Israel / Hamas war and its fallout. She commands the stage in this 60-minute version of her 100-minute one woman/many voices play.
