Benjamin and Judah: A Chanukah Musical

Follow Benjamin on a journey of music, dance and drama that leads to his discovery of the true meaning of Chanukah.

David Shukiar, an award winning, nationally recognized composer of Jewish music and musical theatre creates this unique musical that documents the story of Chanukah through the eyes of Benjamin, a 13 year old boy who is teased at school because he is Jewish. Through a dream that transforms him into Judah Macabee, he relives the dramatic story of the first fight for religious freedom and regains a sense of self-confidence and a renewed faith in Judaism. Described by the Jewish Journal of San Diego as the “Chanukah event we have been waiting for” this uplifting musical is an unforgettable Chanukah experience for the entire family.

Performances are Saturday Dec. 10 at 7pm, Sunday Dec. 11 2:30 & 7 at the Scherr Forum Theater at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza

Tickets are available on Ticketmaster or at the TO Civic Arts Plaza box office and range in price from $22-$36.
