Bring your truths, your lies, and your metaphors to this workshop in which acclaimed solo artist Sara Felder will guide participants in creating stories from their own life experiences.

The coordinationally-challenged are especially welcome. Feel free to bring your fears—but you’ll leave them behind when you pick up this incredible art and (no kidding!) exercise.

"From Fanny to Woody to You: A Short History of Jewish Humor"
TEENS & ADULTS: Wednesday, November 7 • 7:30 pm • Sara Felder • FREE! • Ohavi Zedek Synagogue, 188 North Prospect Street, Burlington, VT
Beloved Jewish juggler, shtikmeister, and comedy maven Sara Felder leads us through a brief yet surprisingly accurate history of Jewish humor. We’ll try to understand how our comic legacy affects Jewish-American identity on a collective and individual level. We will talk about the Bible, Purim-shpils, Yiddish theater, Fanny Brice, the Marx Brothers, Lenny Bruce, Woody Allen, and more. Why are Jews funny? Come find out, and bring your favorite jokes!

FlynnArts Visiting Artist
Photo of Sara FelderSARA FELDER has been a professional juggler and performance artist for more than 20 years. In addition to juggling with San Francisco’s Pickle Family Circus, Joel Grey’s Borscht Capades, and Jugglers for Peace in Cuba, Felder has written and toured four solo plays around the country. Her newest work, Out of Sight, explores the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a Jewish-American mother-daughter relationship.

The FlynnArts theater program creates supportive and fun-filled learning experiences that emphasize individual expression and embrace creative choice. Classes for children build sequentially, while teen and adult classes offer in-depth exploration of specific theater arts. Small classes mean that everyone receives personal attention, and performance opportunities let students try out their skills in front of supportive audiences filled with family and friends. Tours of the historic Flynn Theatre, discounts on world-class MainStage performances, and masterclasses with extraordinary visiting artists complement the strong core program.
