Little Lord’s rough and ready collective of shiksas, queers, and misinformed Jews stage a slap-dash celebration of the biblical Book of Esther. Combining the sincere but awkward rawness of faith-based community happenings with Little Lord’s signature "cheap’n cheerful" style, JEWQUEEN is a holiday party for the haters.
Created and performed by Julia Arazi*, Sarah Bishop-Stone, Das Elkin, Diana Konopka, Michael Levinton*, Rodney Pallanck* and Laura von Holt.
