Holocaust Museum LA, in partnership with the Jewish Plays Project and The Ebell of Los Angeles, presents the second annual Los Angeles Jewish Playwriting Contest on May 13, 2026. The event features 20-minute excerpts from three finalist plays — Flatbush Lysistrata by Lila Rachel Becker, A Play About a Baby Carrot by Juliet Roll, and This Place Stinks by Jacob Surovsky — each introduced by a video from the playwright, with the audience voting to select a winner. The cast includes Jonah Platt, Ali Stoner, Rory Kulz, Lauren Schaffel, Daniel Lench, Laura Gardner, Emily Nash, Amir Levi, Beth Lane, Yahm Steinberg, and Allison Youngberg, with the evening directed and hosted by Illana Stein and Jeremy Aluma. Results from the Los Angeles event will contribute to selecting the national winner, to be announced at the National Finals at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia on June 29, 2026.
