This afterschool club is open to any high school student, whether or not the student identifies as Jewish. We have food every week, play games, and celebrate Jewish holidays throughout the year. Jewish Culture Club is a drop-in-style program that allows teens to choose how often they wish to attend.

Thursdays January 12 – May 4 |  4:30 – 6:30 pm | $100

The practice of casting non-Jewish actors in roles specifically written as Jewish has reached epidemic proportions in recent years, prompting comedian Sara Silverman to call Hollywood out for creating a heated controversy that continues to boil today. The glaring example of two recent, critically acclaimed childhood memoirs by famous directors– Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans and James Gray’s Armageddon Time – brought the issue of Jewish characters being played by non-Jews into sharp relief.

From The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to The Patient or The Shrink Next Door, streaming services consistently turn to non-Jews to portray overtly Jewish characters. Kathryn Hahn, who played a rabbi in Transparent, was set to play Joan Rivers in a mini-series that was cancelled after much nasty pushback. Bradley Cooper, in a prosthetic nose, will soon be on screen as Leonard Bernstein. Helen Mirren will portray Golda Meir. Daisy Edgar-Jones has just been cast to play Carol King. The list is long, prompting questions that merit debate.

Join Kathryn Bernheimer, Founding Director of the Boulder Jewish Film Festival, for a discussion on this phenomenon. We invite film lovers to share their thoughts about a whole host of Jewish movies and streaming series, whether you are looking for recommendations of programs to watch or want to discuss what you’ve currently been watching. This program will cast light on a wide expanse of Jewish content.

Join us 12:30 – 1 pm for a pre-program social.

Everybody has a story: whether that be a life journey, interesting happening, or heroic tale. Whatever your story may be, bring it to our Playback Theater performance and see your story transformed into introspective, thought-provoking art on stage and in the moment. Come to listen, engage, and connect!

Since 2019, the talented performers of the Colorado University Playback Ensemble have helped audiences across Colorado share their stories and boost a sense of commonality and shared belonging. At a Playback performance, audience members voluntarily share stories from their lives, which trained actors and musicians re-enact on the spot through improvised forms of music, sound, and movement. The result is an evening of art, insight, connection, and community.

Playback Theatre has been practiced around the world for nearly 50 years, frequently in conflict zones, due to its proven capacity to bring audiences together. Through the communal sharing of stories – enlivened by the empathy-building power of live theatre – the truth and complexity of our individual lives are unearthed, shared, and honored. Real life is transformed into art – with the capacity to transform real life.

Please join us for a pre-program social with light fare and refreshments from 6 – 6:30 pm
