Spotlight: BIRTHRIGHT at MCC Theater
New Performances Now on Sale for BIRTHRIGHT.
What begins as a reunion among six young friends after a Birthright trip to Israel in 2006 becomes, over the span of 18 years, an exploration of identity, fracturing communities, and the struggle to stay connected across difference. Against a backdrop of political upheaval, the influence of social media on discourse, and profound generational change, their relationships become a battleground for competing histories, beliefs, and uncomfortable emotional truths.
BIRTHRIGHT, the gripping new play by Tony Award® winner Jonathan Spector (EUREKA DAY) and directed by Teddy Bergman (MOTHER RUSSIA), holds up a mirror to our times and captures the combustible dynamics of modern friendship and chosen family: the longing to understand each other, the fear of saying the wrong thing, and the pain of realizing that love does not always guarantee agreement.
Provocative, funny, and piercingly contemporary, BIRTHRIGHT asks whether connection is still possible when every conversation feels like it could be the one that breaks everything apart.
