a new immersive experience

New York. Circa. 1909.
I was asked to produce a new experience by an organization that I've performed with. Create a theatrical experience to bring the joys and challenges of immigrants to the US at the turn of the 20th century to life.
I've never produced before, but I dove in. Found a wonderful playwright and commissioned a script. Partnered with the Soho Playhouse to use their full 5 floors to create an immersive piece, where the audience was moved with music and story to explore. Performed as Rabbi Ahron Levitsky, a spiritual leader wrestling with the pulls of tradition and modernity, Old World and New, as a leader and as a parent.
It was one of the hardest and most satisfying things I've done. We sold out our brief run, done mostly as a proof of concept for backers. I know this story, and the incredible team we assembled, will be back.
