Charlie Varon: Rabbi Sam June 4, 2009

'Rabbi Sam' tells the story of a man who wants to reinvent American Judaism and the congregation that hires him. Some people love the new rabbi. Some can't stand him. And, of course, some can't stand each other. Varon plays all 12 characters, including the rabbi and eight contentious board members. Funny, moving, bursting with energy and ideas, 'Rabbi Sam' is a play for Jews, Gentiles and anyone who has ever attended a meeting.
