Yivdak by Jonathan White
The debut of Yivdak, an original play written and directed by TAPS and JWSC major Jonathan White of the Class of 2022, took place at the FXK Theater of Reynolds Club on April 30 and May 1.
A recording of the May 1 performance can be seen here. Congratulations to Jonathan!
Yivdak: For the poor weaver Yivdak, the faith he keeps within his heart struggles against his better judgment; however, this struggle is not due to a lack of belief but rather a lack of self-worth. How do we reconcile personal emotion and social tradition?
