Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only. A play about a play—and the artists who risked everything to tell it. Inspired by the true story of Sholem Asch’s seminal Yiddish work, God of Vengeance, and its infamous 1923 obscenity trial, INDECENT is a haunting, klezmer-infused play with music that traces the turbulent journey of a troupe determined to stage a work deemed “indecent.” As their story unfolds across continents and decades, so too does a powerful meditation on censorship, nationalism…
All Things Equal: The Life and Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
7:00 pm
Please note: This performance is currently waitlist only.
Supreme Court Justice “RBG” welcomes a friend of the family to her cozy chambers to convey, over the course of ninety fascinating and often funny minutes, a sense of her life and its many trials: losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school … being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer … fighting for women’s rights in the nineteen-seventies before condescending all-male courts … and taking courageous stands for human rights as a voice of reason amid a splintering and increasingly politicized Supreme Court.
An evening with a great and compassionate icon of straight-thinking American justice emerges … an RBG who is not only “notorious” but victorious as she takes a stand for ordinary people facing the many challenges of a changing world. Bring your scrunchies, your hankies, your humor and your heart to this entertaining and uplifting event!
The approximate run time of the event is 95 minutes with no intermission.

Themes
- When learning about a respected person’s life and journey, it can be easy to think that their eventual success and impact were inevitable. But we know that life happens one day at a time, and the ultimate outcomes have yet to be known. Ginsburg faced many personal challenges while working towards her goals, without knowing how things would turn out. She simply did her best, each step of the way. How might this approach be relevant to our lives in 2025?
