Play Readers: Summer Night with Unicorn [] JC3 [] CHESMA A.C.

Summer Night with Unicorn by David Rush is an example of Magical realism at its best.  Winner of the 2013 Jewish Plays project, this staged reading will be the San Miguel premier of this witty, poignant evening of theater

It takes place between 10 PM and dawn on a Chicago summer night, when chatty, charming Estelle Zingerman enters the life of Warren Spencer at an all night McDonalds.  She convinces him to set out with her on a mission, which leads to encounters with a street artist, a Tarot card reader, a 19th Century Chassidic Rabbi, a giraffe, a Unicorn, and more.

Directed by Lee Duberman and starring Richard Fink, Steve Garfinkle, Clara Dunham, and new to San Miguel Vermont actors Susannah and Tom Blachly, this lovely show will take you on an amazing journey of laughter and emotions.

Wednesday April 3 and Thursday April 4 at 7:00 PM.  Doors open at 6:30.  Refreshments will be available for purchase.
Admission:  200 pesos (150 pesos for members)

Tickets are available online at shalomsanmiguel.org/calendar  or by visiting JC3  at Calle de las Moras 47 (at Cinco de Mayo).
If you have difficulty purchasing tickets, please call the office at 415-185-9191

CHESMA, A.C. (una “Comunidad Hebrea En San Miguel de  Allende,  Asociacion Civil”) is an interdenominational Jewish community in San Miguel de Allende, State of Guanajuato, Mexico. We have about 120 members:  one-quarter are Mexican, the rest expatriates primarily from the United States and Canada.   Our motto–‘One community, many journeys’–reflects our diverse backgrounds—in language, culture, and observance. We welcome each member to express his or her unique Judaism. Be it secularly, artistically, religiously, intellectually or otherwise, we urge all Jews who are interested in being a part of a Jewish entity here in el Bajío to join with us.   CHESMA, AC is a not-for-profit umbrella organization, which remains unaffiliated with any specific Jewish movement; our lay members lead worship and fill all the other roles needed keep the community thriving.   Under this umbrella, the Traditional/Egalitarian Minyan Group, led primarily by Dan Lessner and Carole Stone, has just been accepted for membership in the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (North America’s Conservative Judaism flagship), and is now a separate legal religious entity known as “Kehilla Shalom San Miguel de Allende” under IRS section 501(c)(3).
