The Black Box Theatre is located in the Communication Arts Center at the corner of Philadelphia and Chicago Avenues. All four performances will begin at 8 p.m. A discussion will follow each performance. Admission is free, but reservations are recommended. For reservations, call 301-650-1368.
“A Land Twice Promised” takes a look at life in Jerusalem from both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Baum, who was born and raised in Israel, based her show on her extended dialogue with a Palestinian woman whom she befriended.
Baum has been teaching and performing for audiences of all ages in schools, libraries, community centers, and Jewish congregations since 1982. She has a B.F.A. in theater from Tel Aviv University and a M.A. in educational theater from New York University. Her audio recording “Far Away and Close to Home” is a Parents’ Choice Award Winner. She currently lives in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and is a member of the National Storytelling Network.
In addition to her performances, Baum will conduct a free two-session storytelling workshop on November 8 and 15, from 3-6 p.m., at Montgomery College’s Black Box Theatre on the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus. The workshop is limited to 20 people and participants are required to attend both sessions. To reserve a spot in the free workshop, contact Ellen Mansueto at 301-650-1388.
The performances and workshops are made possible in part by a grant from the Webber Family Foundation.
