Description:

What do roller derby, a second set of dishes, and a misunderstood holocaust memory have in common? Find out in The Stories We Tell. Multitalented Jewish Artist Lezlie Revelle Zucker leads her audience through a series of vignettes and monologues that explore identity—not only what it means to be human, but what it means to be a particular human—through the lens of the Jewish experience in America.

    Brilliantly written piece. Funny, sad and very emotional. It wasn’t what I expected. It was a pleasant surprise. It’s about love and faith and dealing with discrimination. I think this play needs to be taken to the world and shown to all people who love and strong in their faith or who question it. Fabulous work. I recommend it to everyone.

    This show is beautifully written and performed. These modern and relatable stories are honest reflections of what it means to question our own histories and faith. The human experience of comparison and self worthiness is on full display. The audience leaves examining our own experiences, and hoping that we are mostly good at heart. Great job!

    This was one of the most beautifully written, produced and acted shows about identity and the human experience. I think the world needs to see this play and I hope they get more opportunities to do so.
    This production will have you looking inside yourself for your own story. And maybe just maybe reminding us that we all need to be more kind, open and loving of each other.

    A heartwarming show that brings us together and reminds us to be better listeners, kinder souls, and a more connected community. Beautifully directed and shared!
