Extraordinary Jews

Eight biographical one-act plays (each 15 to 20 minutes long) feature characters such as Hannah Senesh Bella Abzug Leonard Bernstein Abraham Joshua Heschel Emma Goldman and Yitzhak Rabin and provide an effective and original way to examine the attributes of heroes and heroines. These plays are easy to stage either for a full production or readers' theater and are ideal as an adjunct to Confirmation curriculum.
