Introducing the NEW Shabbat Shalom Variety Show hosted by Merriam Levkowitz and Faux Pa. We are looking for acts of all sorts to get lit with us this Hanukkah! This show is open to all ages, Jewish-themed, and submission-based – oy, could we use any more adjectives!

If you are not a Jewish performer, you are still welcome to submit but please make sure your act is relevant to the month’s theme!  As this is an all-ages show, we request that your act is PG-13 at most. Additional performances at alternate venues may present the opportunity for more adult acts. Put on your yarmulke, it’s time for Hanukkah!

Mac Cherny & Max Klein are putting on an all-ages Jewish variety show just in time for Hanukkah! They are searching for acts of all kinds, drag, comedy, how many dreidels spins you can do…
