Untitled Theater Company No. 61 Presents HOW TO PLAY DREIDEL WITH JUDAH MACCABEE

How to Play Dreidel with Judah Maccabee is an original Hanukkah story, written by Edward Einhorn and told by one of the actors from Untitled Theater Company No. 61 (Yael Haskal, Alyssa Simon, or Maxwell Zener). The actor will call you and personally tell you a tale about a kid who travels back through time in order to meet Judah Maccabee. Follow the story's simple instructions, and maybe you can play dreidel with Judah Maccabee too! The whole story will be 15 - 20 minutes in length. Connect via Skype (preferred), or if you prefer by Zoom or just phone
