Tovah Feldshuh Directs Women's Minyan Reading At Westside Theater 5/9

One Circle Productions (Mira Tzur, Founder/Artistic Director) is proud to present the NY premiere of Naomi Ragen's Women's Minyan, with a staged reading directed by Tovah Feldshuh. The reading will take place on Monday, May 9 at 3PM & 7PM at The Westside Theatre (407 West 43rd Street).

Based on a true story, Women's Minyan is a spellbinding exploration of religious fundamentalism in a patriarchal society. In an effort to save her life, Chana leaves her abusive husband, only to suffer the powerful wrath of the rabbinical courts. Women's Minyan explores the boundaries between religion and social convention, right and wrong, and a woman true place in a male-dominated religious world. Over the past 10 years this play has been performed over 500 times around the world including Israel, during this anniversary year, One Circle Productions finally brings this riveting work to New York.

One Circle Productions (Mira Tzur, Founder/Artistic Director) has partnered with Safe Horizon for this project.
