The Emanu-El Theatre Company

The Emanu-El Theatre Company, is a weekly program that will culminate in a Purim Spiel, starring our students! This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and connect with students that attend Religious School on different days! The program is for second graders and older.

Rooted in Jewish tradition and the belief that everyone deserves a role, the Emanu-El Theatre Company helps students develop lifelong skills: public speaking, collaboration, empathy, and creative problem-solving. Through acting exercises, improv games, and creative teamwork, students will build confidence, strengthen friendships, and find their voice in a supportive, Jewish environment. Teen leadership opportunities will be available—earn community service hours while supporting the production.

The Purim Spiel final performance will take place on the evening of Sunday, March 7, 2027.

Sessions will be held weekly on Sundays from 12:00 – 1:30 PM, beginning October 25, 2026. Students who attend Religious School on any day (Sunday, Monday or Wednesday) are welcome to register.

The program will be led by Isabel Robin, a staff member and professional actor, most recently seen nationwide on the Broadway tour of Fiddler on the Roof.
