Tacoma Little Theatre presents Hanukkah Lights in the Big Sky, by Buffy Sedlachek, and directed by Melanie Gladstone. This production will air live via YouTube on Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 7:30pm.
When a brick is thrown at a menorah set in a child’s window for Hanukkah, community leaders of all faiths come together to help spread a message of tolerance and peace. With the help of school children, 10,000 families display menorahs in their windows for Christmas in solidarity. Based on true events that occurred in Billings, Montana in 1993, this family play, an original script commissioned by Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company, is perfect for ages 6 & up.
Hanukkah Lights in the Big Sky features the talents of: Amelia Becker, Curtis Beech, Margaux Berwitt, Jack Burns, Eric Clausell, Susan Gault, Martin Goldsmith, Evie Merrill, Thea Ramirez, J. Simmons, Jennifer Torrence, and Lissa Valentine.
