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 and the policing of queer love. At once tender and thunderously relevant, this breathtaking theatrical experience shines a light on the enduring struggle between artistic expression and societal control. In a moment when questions of whose stories are “acceptable” feel increasingly urgent, INDECENT invites us to bear witness to the courage of artists, the cost of silence and the unshakable power of theater itself.
Please note: Due to limited ticket numbers, teachers and students can register for the 9/15 performance, but the 9/25 performance is reserved for students and family members only.

Ntsiab lus
This play is about real-life artists who were committed to sharing a radical play with the world, despite intense backlash and legal consequences. In addition, they were facing existential threats with the rise of Nazism. Despite all of this, many of those artists remained committed to the play. What is something that you care deeply about, whether it be a work of art or something different? What is something that you would remain committed to, no matter what?
