We Have To Find Laughter Right Now: Andrew Davies - Season 4, Episode 5

On The Bimah: Spotlighting Jewish Theatre Artists

"We Have To Find Laughter Right Now: Andrew Davies" (Season 4, Episode 5), the newest episode of our season, dropped Wednesday, November 28. We called to the Bimah Andrew Davies, co-founder of The Bible Players, who is based in Philadelphia.

Andrew shared his approach to Jewish education through comedy, introducing listeners to "Mitzprov" - a blend of improvisation and Jewish values that transforms how we engage with tradition. We explored the profound connections between Jewish storytelling, comedy, and education, diving deep into how laughter can be a powerful tool for community building and learning.

The conversation illuminated how comedy and improvisation can be deeply spiritual practices, creating meaningful connections within Jewish community.

"On the Bimah" continues to showcase the diversity and depth of contemporary Jewish theatre, guided by your host Danielle Levsky.

This podcast is an Alliance for Jewish Theatre program, produced by Danny Debner and Danielle Levsky. Our theme music is by Ilya Levinson and Alex Koffman.
