An-sky&nbsp;(written 1913-1916) is a&nbsp;gothic romance between two young lovers, a&nbsp;mythological tale&nbsp;about a&nbsp;broken promise, and a folkloric snapshot of Jewish life in the Pale of Settlement as interpreted by writer and ethnographer An-sky. Incorporating klezmer music, Yiddish folk dance, and shadow puppets based on traditional paper cutting, this community-focused production of the rarely staged Russian-Yiddish play will be the culmination of an innovative, year-long creative process that began with a series of free theater workshops hosted by Philadelphia&#8217;s Open Theater Workshop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite you to join us to our upcoming production running from Nov 13 &#8211; Nov 16 (We will be having a preview on Wednesday November 12th at 7:30pm, all tickets to the preview will be PWYC at the door). All shows will be performed at Louis Bluver Theater @ The Drake (<a href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/NG4KpWlqJtnjFbRgb\">302 S Hicks St, Philadelphia, PA<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please reach out to us at <i>info at opentheaterworkshop.org<\/i> if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/otw-dybbuk\/tickets?widget=popup\">Buy Tickets Here!<\/a> (or copy and paste the following into your browser: <a href=\"https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/otw-dybbuk\">https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/otw-dybbuk<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"785\" src=\"https:\/\/opentheaterworkshop.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dybbuk-Print-Art-Drake-Brochure-1024x785.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opentheaterworkshop.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dybbuk-Print-Art-Drake-Brochure-1024x785.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/opentheaterworkshop.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dybbuk-Print-Art-Drake-Brochure-300x230.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/opentheaterworkshop.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dybbuk-Print-Art-Drake-Brochure-768x589.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/opentheaterworkshop.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dybbuk-Print-Art-Drake-Brochure-1536x1178.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/opentheaterworkshop.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dybbuk-Print-Art-Drake-Brochure.jpeg 2036w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- Add the following to your website's HTML. -->\n<!-- \n<script src=\"https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/scripts\/widgets\/inline.js\" type=\"module\"><\/script>\n<iframe data-checkout=\"otw-dybbuk\"><\/iframe> \n-->\n\n\n\n<!--\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Production Credits:<\/h2>\n-->\n\n\n\n<!--\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Director:<\/em><\/strong> Sarah Billings<br><em><strong>Puppet Director:<\/strong><\/em> Madeline Shuron<br><strong><em>Music Director:<\/em><\/strong> Pamela Fucello<br><strong><em>Fight Director:<\/em><\/strong> Gracie Hudson<br><em><strong>Lighting Designer:<\/strong><\/em> Alexa Pennington<br><strong><em>Choreographer:<\/em><\/strong> Madeline Rabin, Miryam Coppersmith<br><em><strong>Stage Managers: <\/strong><\/em>Ann-Marie Aves, Jess Gardner<br><em><strong>Dramaturgy:<\/strong><\/em> Mazel Mones, Sophie Koester<br><strong><em>Script Editors\/Translators:<\/em><\/strong> Mazel Mones, Sarah Billings, Sofie Seymour<br><em><strong>Production Team: <\/strong><\/em>Amir-Gabriel Gad, Benjamin Lazzaro, Fritz Blaw, Kathy Huang, Kris Sivak, Socket Klatzker<br><em><strong>Producer:<\/strong><\/em> Daniel Korn<\/h3>\n-->\n\n\n\n<!--\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Cast Credits (In Order of Appearance):<\/h2>\n-->\n\n\n\n<!--\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>Chorus:<\/strong> <\/em>Amir-Gabriel Gad, Carmine Shannon, Mazel Mones, Nestor Cook, Ronan Weber, Shreya Ragavan, Sophie Koester<br><strong><em>Puppeteers:<\/em><\/strong> Amir-Gabriel Gad, Ann-Marie Aves, Benjamin Lazzaro, Liam Forest, Madeline Shuron, Noah Cohen, Shreya Ragavan, Sofie Seymour, Zoe Farnsworth<br><strong><em>The Batl\u00f3nim:<\/em><\/strong> Mazel Mones, Nestor Cook, Ronan Weber<br><strong><em>The Messenger:<\/em><\/strong> Liam Forest<br><strong><em>Kh\u00f3nen:<\/em><\/strong> David Kennedy<br><strong><em>M\u00e9yer:<\/em><\/strong> Daniel Korn<br><strong><em>Kh\u00e1ne-\u00c9ster:<\/em><\/strong> Madeline Shuron<br><strong><em>H\u00e9nekh:<\/em><\/strong> Carmine Shannon<br><strong><em>L\u00e9ye:<\/em><\/strong> Sofie Seymour<br><strong><em>Frade:<\/em><\/strong> Zoe Farnsworth<br><strong><em>Sender:<\/em><\/strong> Gabriel Buyske<br><strong><em>Gitl:<\/em><\/strong> Sophie Koester<br><strong><em>B\u00e1sya:<\/em><\/strong> Madeline Shuron<br><strong><em>Nachmon:<\/em><\/strong> Daniel Korn<br><strong><em>R\u00e9be Mendel:<\/em><\/strong> Amir-Gabriel Gad<br><strong><em>Menashe:<\/em><\/strong> Noah Cohen<br><strong><em>The Chassidim:<\/em><\/strong> Carmine Shannon, Daniel Korn, Sophie Koester<br><strong><em>R\u00e9be Azriel:<\/em><\/strong> Larry Beck<br><strong><em>Elder Mikhl:<\/em><\/strong> Michael Sanford Kay<br><strong><em>The Three Judges:<\/em><\/strong> Carmine Shannon, Daniel Korn, Sophie Koester<br><\/h3>\n-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dybbuk&nbsp;by S.
