 | Celebrating Shlomo Carlebach with Songs, Story and Film
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Known as Reb Shlomo, ‘The Singing Rabbi’ and ‘The Pied Piper of Judaism’, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach is widely considered the foremost Jewish religious songwriter of the 20th century who continues to influence Jewish rock bands. His influence also continues to this day in the Carlebach minyanim (small communities or prayer groups) located in many cities around the globe. Although his roots lay in traditional Orthodox yeshivot (traditional Jewish institutions of higher learning), he branched out to create his own movement combining Hasidic-style warmth and personal interaction, public concerts, and song-filled synagogue services. Carlebach was also considered a pioneer of the Baal Teshuva (one who embraces or returns to Orthodox Judaism) movement encouraging disenchanted Jewish youth to re-embrace their heritage. Often considered a radical rabbinic figure, his influence transformed modern Judaism.

 | Philistines
7:30 PM - 10:00 PM
The University of Colorado, Department of Theatre and Dance is proud
to present Maxim Gorky’s first play, “Philistines.”
A
pre-revolutionary play that blends sharp-edged drama with black comedy and
politics, “Philistines” is centered around a family of ordinary, provincial and
small bourgeois Russians. The Bessemenov family is headed by a reactionary and
miserly father and a cruel and vindictive mother. This couple subjects their
three adult children – a daughter, a son and an adopted son – to their
tyrannical nature. Also subjected are the lodgers – a group sharing the
residence – who constantly provoke the family with their sharp criticism and
joie de vivre.
The
drama is rooted in the irreconcilable differences between fathers and sons, who
long to break free from the suffocating rigidity of their elders. Gorky crafts a sharp and ironic
commentary on a wide range of issues through his mirror of Russian society,
from class differences to provocative issues of sex, economics, politics, love
and marriage.
Directed by P.R. Berton and presented by the students at the
University of Colorado at Boulder, tickets for this University Theatre
production are now on sale.
