Indecent
Written by Paula Vogel
Directed by Alex Levy
June 4-21, 2026
From Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, a deeply moving play inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s “God of Vengeance”—a play seen by some as a seminal work of Jewish culture, and by others as an act of traitorous libel. Indecent charts the history of an incendiary drama and the path of the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it. “…we are indebted to Vogel…for reminding us of a brave play that fearlessly told the world there’s nothing indecent about love.” — TheaterMania
