The Matzo Ball Diaries: Spring
Theater with The Braid
Thursday,
February 23 | 7:00 PM ET
In The
Matzo Ball Diaries, professional and lay writers reveal
funny, poignant, and pivotal moments that reveal the power of food to
heal – or destroy. One young woman in Iran learns what plucking
chickens has in common with hair removal of a new bride. A boy decides
to give up certain Jewish foods to lose weight, but will he lose his
Judaism as well? The Braid creates the perfect recipe for
a meaningful and enjoyable evening through these and other moving
and humorous stories.
The
Matzo Ball Diaries is part of a series of three theatrical
events in partnership with The Braid. In Person and Virtual Three-Show
Bundles are available. Discounts
for Museum Members.
