The Wanderers
Jewish Community Center – Maxine and Robert Seller Theater 2640 North Forest Road, Getzville, NY, United Statesby Anna Ziegler Directed by JRT Artistic Director Saul Elkin Running February 6 - March 2, 2025 In this Off-Broadway hit, two marriages have seemingly little in common: Esther and Schmuli are Orthodox Jews navigating strictly defined rules and roles, while Sophie and Abe are secular and free to make their own choices. But both couples are growing apart as they strive to balance their individual identities with the families they've created. As Esther tests the boundaries of her personal freedom, Abe falls into a correspondence with a movie star that will shake the foundations of his marriage and career. From the playwright of JRT's hit production, Photograph 51, comes this funny, moving, and thoughtful play that asks if following one's truth is worth it, no matter the cost. Featuring an all-star cast including Arin Lee Dandes, Jordan Levin, Aleks Malejs, Alex Watts and Adam Yellen. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
