Playwright Sarah Ruhl, confronted with her beloved father's death, must have wrestled hard with how to honor his passing, without losing herself in the process. Her play, Eurydice-in Jay D. Brock's production at Next Stop Theatre-is in some ways a witty take on the old Orpheus myth, but the wit is clearly in service of something more personal and contemporary.
"Eurydice" by Sarah Ruhl is now appearing Thursdays through Sundays until November 20, 2016 at NextStop Theatre, in Herndon, Virginia. The first look at photos from the production are now available.

As a society, we often view extreme acts of 'passion,' whether it be motivated by anger, lust, or sadness, as negative, resulting in pain, or as something to be 'fixed.'

From the 'Auschwitz' Torah, which Rabbi Youlous 'located' using a metal detector in a prewar Auschwitz cemetery, to 'purchasing' a Torah from a former Auschwitz prison guard, Rabbi Youlous convinced many that he was the 'Jewish Indiana Jones.'
