The Dinner will feature actor and comedian Reuven Russell. "Gath-ering the Sparks" is a powerfully driven one-man show, conceived and performed by Reuven Russell. Through a deeply affecting theatrical synthesis of narrative and music, Russell magically transforms into a variety of diverse characters, including Rabbi Meir Kahane, an Israeli soldier, a Jewish mother, a Hollywood producer, and Islamic fundamentalist and a mystical Chassid. Using each character as a voice to question and explore the world’s existing political, social and religious climate, Russell refreshingly illuminates the spiritual dilemmas which invade us all. Through laughter and pain, "Gathering the Sparks" offers an inspiring and provocative look at the state of "Jewishness" today.
