'In the Land of Rain and Salmon' - Jewish Voices in the Northwest: 1880-1920. An original theater production by Book-It Repertory Theatre in collaboration with Washington State Jewish Historical Society (WSJHS). Imagine hearing your grandfather’s voice for the first time in 30 years telling you what it was like to take a boat from the old country without speaking a word of English or having more than 25 cents to his name. Or maybe listening to your cousin talk about borrowing money (with no interest) to open a store. How about hearing your aunt describe baking biscochos or making matzo ball soup, just like her mother did?

You can experience these moving moments during a live performance that will take you into the lives of early Jewish pioneers in the state of Washington – some of whom you may remember, others whom you will discover for the very first time.

Cost: $10 for Museum and WSJHS members, $12 for non-Members. Buy tickets online or call 206.789.5707 ext. 10.

This event is co-sponsored by Book-It Repertory Theatre, Washington State Jewish Historical Society, 4Culture, Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, and JT News.
