House of Kehillah

Recommended by

    Absolutely gorgeous. Siegel beautifully weaves together three characters' unique stories for a textured and distinctly Jewish exploration of queer life. This play provides rich material for the actors and designers involved, as well as for the audiences lucky enough to see it.

    House of Kehillah brings as many laughs as it does tears in its moving portrayal of generational experiences involving religion, sexuality, and the human condition. To experience a Kyr Siegel play is to be immersed in a world of poetry, longing, and comfort, and HOK has no shortage of any of that.

    This piece expresses to its audience that these characters' religion: is owning who they are. Each character vividly holds dear to their definition of family, community, and acceptance without competition, but an acknowledgment of the world's evolved tolerance or lack thereof. This piece is a beautifully layered sentimental poetic protest and deserves to be enjoyed by ALL.
