Esther, The Musical is written and composed by local playwright Lori Jacobs. It is the classical Biblical story with a twist and a true fun-filled Purim Speil. With original songs based on Kletzmer Songs, Rap, Showtunes, Country, Ragtime and Pop, this show is a rapid, surefire, farcical, tongue-in-cheek-retelling of the rise of Esther and her salvation of the Jews in Persia in 483 B.C.E. Come join the party!
