For the Love of Animals
The Braid describes this show as "captivating stories that shed a light on the Jewish soul—and you don’t have to love animals to resonate with them!" You're sure to enjoy these funny and thrilling Jewish tales about brief encounters and long-term relationships with animals, wild and domestic, and how they change us.
Like other plays in The Braid’s repertoire, For the Love of Animals will be performed live on Zoom, followed by a Q&A session with the performers.
About The Braid
Formerly known as Jewish Women’s Theater, The Braid bases performances on real life experiences, brought to life by professional actors.
Now in its 15th season, The Braid is the go-to Jewish story company and leading non-profit organization creating, curating, producing and preserving stories grounded in Jewish culture and experience. 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.
Through its performances and programming, The Braid empowers artists and audiences to feel pride in Jewish culture while building community and connection among people of all backgrounds.
Founded in Santa Monica, California, in 2007, The Braid is now accessible globally via Zoom performances and is available on online platforms. The Braid remains true to its founding commitment of giving voice to untold Jewish stories, whether by women, Jews of Color, or Jews from other diverse backgrounds. “We are an organization started by a group of women who know what it means to be outsiders, to exist in the margins of culture, and to be stereotyped,” says The Braid.
“This unique artform sits at the intersection of storytelling and theatre, where professional actors perform true stories curated—or ‘braided’—around a theme,” remarks Phyllis Wang, Coordinator of Saratoga Jewish Community Arts.
