ART, PERFORMANCES & CONVERSATIONS

All New Center programs speak to Jewish audiences and to the broader community. Attracting large and diverse groups of people, our past programs have explored wide-ranging themes and ideas, including: the Exodus story told from multiple cultural perspectives; the blending of Klezmer and swing music; and the influence of a Jewish up-bringing on the lives and careers of acclaimed writers, artists, musicians, actors, political figures and humorists.

We invite everyone to come and experience the insight, passion, humanity, and humor that lie at the heart of our programs.

 Traveling Salon: Song of Songs

“The Song of Songs is the greatest love poem ever written”
-Artistic Director Jason Slavick.

Take a tumble through the greatest love poem ever written – Song of Songs. It’s a trip through the imagination of a girl finding first love, inspired by the classic poem with an original score channeling Leonard Cohen, The Decemberists, Elliott Smith and Neutral Milk Hotel. Unusual percussion, indie folk guitars and lush harmonies meld with songs, puppets, drama and dance creating a world both handmade and majestic. Song of Songs is a fantastical trip through love with the young, the jealous, the sacred, the silly, the surreal and the sublime.

Join Prism as we explore the complexity, sensuality and religious underlying of this ancient love poem. In addition to saving $5 off each ticket, our group will have a special pre-discussion with show director Jason Slavick. CLICK HERE to purchase your tickets! Discount tickets available until June 8 @ noon.
