Saratoga Jewish Community Arts and the Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York present, live on Zoom, The Braid’s performance of Do the Right Thing.  

Once again, SJCA is proud to bring The Braid’s performances to our audiences, with the sponsorship of Temple Sinai of Saratoga Springs. This is the first show in the 2026 season by our friends at The Braid, the Go-To Jewish Story Company, and the first of three SJCA will offer in 2026.

Do the Right Thing

Experience The Braid’s signature storytelling theatre with Do the Right Thing. See actors bring to life true Jewish stories of doing the right thing, even when it’s really hard!

The show explores the Jewish tradition of questioning power and speaking up, especially when doing the right thing means standing alone. With humor, heart, and rising stakes, this production teases the timeless cost of conscience through real voices and unforgettable choices.

You’ll be on the edge of your seat as a nervous flier halts a plane on the runway after spotting what he fears is an engine fire, be fascinated as a young journalist amidst Vietnam-era college protests saves lives by withholding breaking news, and be captivated as decades later, a woman tries to deliver a Holocaust-era letter to the surviving family. 

Don’t miss these and other stories in a show that Broadway World raves is both “gripping and inspiring.”

About The Braid and Salon Theatre

Formerly known as Jewish Women’s Theater, the Braid bases its performances on real experiences, brought to life by professional actors. It pioneered a new art form, Salon Theatre, a hybrid of storytelling and theatre, to present voices and experiences often overlooked in both the Jewish community and the secular world.  “This unique artform sits at the intersection of storytelling and theatre, where professional actors perform true stories curated—or "braided"—around a theme,” explain Phyllis Wang, Coordinator of Saratoga Jewish Community Arts.
