Join us for a genre-bending, youth-powered Purimspiel where queens say NO, fans become The People, and walls of ice are meant to melt. When a Burger King crowned in comfort plots belonging and not-belonging with the help of Vanilla Ice Haman and his frozen machine of repression, Esther (Queen of YES) joins forces with Vashti (Queen of NO), Mayor Mordechai Mamdani, and a demon-hunting, music-making movement to turn fear into collective power. Through rap, rally, drag, parachutes, and song, the people discover that humanity cannot be divided without shattering itself, and that joy, when wielded together, can topple empires, melt the ice, and make revolution irresistible.
You read that right. It’s JFREJ’s FIRST-EVER PURIMSPIEL STARRING…YOUTH!!! (Alongside some childish grown-ups, of course.)
Brooklyn Children’s Museum entry included in ticket purchase. No one turned away for lack of funds. Please email info@jfrej.org if you can not afford the ticket price.
All proceeds go to our partners at Mi Tlalli.
Mi Tlalli, meaning “My Earth” in a Nahuatl dialect, has stepped up to care for, fight for, and stand with our asylum-seeking neighbors and all undocumented community members in NYC. Our joy is bound up with theirs.
Doors open at 1 PM for our winter pageant, live music, Hamantaschen, dancing, and crafting. The Purimspiel will begin at 1:30 PM SHARP!
PLEASE NOTE: We will be taking photos and video at this event to post on social media. If you/your child do not want to be in photos online, let us know!
