The Melting Pot at Arch Street Meeting House

Israel Zangwill's once-famous 1908 play returns, presented by Theatre Ariel and Philadelphia Artists' Collective as part of America 250. The play follows David Quixano, a young Jewish-Russian immigrant who comes to New York after fleeing violence in Russia, composing a symphony celebrating his belief in America as a place for new beginnings. His faith collides with the trauma of his past when he falls in love with Vera Revendal. The cast includes Adam Galloway, Lexi Thammavong, J Hernandez, Jessy Gruver, Eli Lynn, Johnny Fernandez, and Adam Pelta-Pauls.
