DETROIT ARTS LIVE AND WORTH WATCHING: Jerusalem at the JET
‘New Jerusalem: The Interrogation of Baruch Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656’ top notch at the JET
***** FIVE Stars out of FIVE
By Vivian DeGain
Arts reviewer
The new production at Jewish Ensemble Theatre is both a Midwest premiere and the most exciting play on stage this season in Metro Detroit. The historical drama with a long name that frames it, “New Jerusalem: The Interrogation of Baruch Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation, Amsterdam, July 27, 1656” is described by the JET as a “intellectual comedic drama that addresses freedom of expression and religion and what our religious and cultural affiliations mean to us in the grand scheme of the universe.”
Easy for them to say.
Yet, as JET Artistic Director David J. Magidson directs the play and a first-rate cast, Magidson is delivering on his promise to bring the fresh, the invigorated and the inspired to his stage.
Interestingly, the new is created from a story nearly 500 years old about a young philosopher judged as either a heretic, a brilliant innovator, or both.
Baruch Spinoza (Hebrew) was born Bento de Espinosa (in Portuguese) November 24, 1632 – February 21, 1677. Deemed one of the most significant philosophers – “and certainly the most radical of the early modern period, his extremely naturalistic views on God, the world, the human being and knowledge serve to ground a moral philosophy. Of all the philosophers of the seventeenth-century, perhaps none have more relevance today than Spinoza,” http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/spinoza/.
In the JET’s “New Jerusalem” Mitchell Koory is Spinoza and is every bit as charming and as provocative as we imagine Spinoza was. While the other characters in the play gather in scenes and dialogue, Koory’s lines seem to last the entire two hours nonstop but never with a feeling that we a observing a manuscript – just the original.
The cast also highlights the excellent work of Loren Bass as the defending Rabbi Saul Levi Mortera, Hugh Maguire as the prosecuting Abraham van Valkenburgh, Phil Powers as ben Israel, Rob Pantano as de Vries, Christina Flynn as Clara van den Enden, and Caroline Price as Rebekah de Spinoza.
‘New Jerusalem…’ by David Ives premiered in New York in January 2008. Ives, born in 1950 in Chicago attended Northwestern University and the Yale School of Drama, where he received an MFA in playwriting. He also studied at a Catholic seminary, served as editor at Foreign Affairs magazine and was a contributing editor for Spy Magazine, the New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker.
In his eclectic assignments, his success on the New York stage beginning in 1972 and continuing (see sidebar below), one could imagine him as not so unfamiliar a thinker as the free thinker Baruch Spinoza in his time.
The superb writing, the excellent cast and very fine directing come to fruition at the JET.
The play’s opening coincides with the grand opening this week of the $6.7-million Berman Center for the Performing Arts on the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield, which is also celebrating the annual JCC Stephen Gottlieb Music Festival. Marvin Hamlisch was the opening show on stage! The Berman Center seats a variable 350-600, boasts a beautiful stage and the gifts of cutting edge technology.
About Playwright David Ives: Ives’ first play in New York was “Canvas” at the Circle Repertory Company in 1972. He has also written Saint Freud in 1975 and a series of one-act plays in the 1980s including “Variations on the Death of Trotsky,” “Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread,” and “The Universal Language.” His “All in the Timing,” originated as an evening of one-act comedies, premiered at Primary Stages in 1993, moved to the larger John Houseman Theatre and ran for 606 performances, which won him the Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Award for Playwriting.
The Jewish Ensemble Theatre presents ‘New Jerusalem: The Interrogation of Baruch Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656’ through April 10 at the Aaron DeRoy Theatre on the campus of the Jewish Community Center, 6600 West Maple Road in West Bloomfield.

Detroit Arts Live and Worth Watching: Modern Orthodox open at the JET
Comedy takes a lighter edge to divergence-y: ‘Modern Orthodox’ opens at the JET
By Vivian DeGain
Oakland Press Friday, Jan. 28, 2011
A contemporary comedy with a pinch of fracas has opened at the Jewish Ensemble Theatre which takes a new look at diversity – or you might say divergency.
The comedy, ‘Modern Orthodox’ written by Daniel Goldfarb, opened on Broadway in 2004 bringing the vivid Molly Ringwald (Pretty in Pink) and the zany Jason Biggs (American Pie) together on stage where anything might happen.
At the JET, ‘Modern Orthodox’ features Christina L. Flynn as the beauty and Aral Gribble as Herschel Klein, a hyper, obnoxious, annoying and devout Modern Orthodox Jew who wears the uniform black suit and tie – with his touch of individuality – high-top tennis shoes and a yarmulke featuring his baseball team logo, the New York Yankees.
Set in Manhattan, we first meet Herschel, a diamond dealer from Brooklyn, when he is 45 minutes late for his business lunch.
Gribble pulls out all the stops as his Herschel is loud, messy, intense, melodramatic and like all little boys (of which he is anything but) — quite loveable.
But back to the story of ‘Modern Orthodox.’
The story centers on a young professional couple Ben and Hannah, who are enjoying all the comforts of their Upper West Side apartment. Both Jewish but not religious, Ben and Hannah are about have their tidy world turned upside down.
It all begins when Ben has decided it’s time to pop the question – and that is how he meets Herschel.
As Ben impatiently awaits the diamond salesman Herschel for over 45 minutes, he is getting up to leave when said salesman finally shows up.
In the pulls and tugs of the diamond negotiation, Ben and Herschel strike a deal. They also nearly come to blows.
Who is more arrogant – the affluent and well heeled Ben – or the self-righteous Herschel who ends each line with “Baruch Ha-Shem” (God willing)?
Ben (Scott Crownover) returns home to his honey Hannah and the sweetness of their life together. But on the eve of Ben’s proposal, their quiet amity becomes all disarray when Herschel shows up from nowhere, banging on the front door and demanding sanctuary on Shabbat.
As an Orthodox Jew who observes Shabbat without the use of electricity, fire or many other modern conveniences, Herschel arrived ready to hunker down from sundown Friday through the next 24 hours. Sanctuary on Shabbat is no laughing matter – but in this case, it is, it really is.
‘Modern Orthodox’ is as full of contradictions as the title implies. For every moment of predictable, there is surprise. For every question, there are many more answers. If life is best lived in moments of quiet introspection, then just wait and see what happens in the topsy-turvy.
As Hannah and Ben are provoked to question the depths of their religious feelings and identities – they are also provoked to reconsider love and life with the erratic and frenetic Herschel.
Needless to say – Gribble is amazing all the way down to his last scene, taking his bows in his underwear.
And the JET cast also features Kat Grilli as a very believable Rachel.
The Jewish Ensemble Theatre presents ‘Modern Orthodox’ by Daniel Goldfarb through Feb. 13, at the Aaron DeRoy Theatre on the campus of the Jewish Community Center, 6600 West Maple Road in West Bloomfield. Tickets are $32-$41, and discounts for seniors and students. Performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays; 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Saturdays; 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sundays; and 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 9.

DETROIT ARTS LIVE AND WORTH WATCHING: God of Isaac at JET
Michael Brian Ogden as Isaac and Henrietta Hermelin as his mother, star in The God of Isaac at the JET.
The Jewish Ensemble Theatre opens season with ‘God of Isaac,’ a comedy?
By Vivian DeGain
The Oakland Press, Sunday Oct. 17, 2010
On the surface, one wonders what would be humorous about a story titled “God of Isaac.”
After all, the Biblical reference is not a funny story, especially from Isaac’s perspective. Yet somehow, the dark hazy images of a young man who is bound up in ropes, unable to move or breathe, sweating his future in an unimaginable anxiety on the altar of his insane father or God – is exactly the vision that writer James Sherman chose for his comedy.
In the Genesis story, an angel tells Abraham to NOT sacrifice his only son. God saves Isaac’s life. What happens next for Isaac?
The Jewish Ensemble Theatre opened its 2010-11 season with “The God of Isaac” by the same playwright who penned “Beau Jest” and “Affluenza!” and others.
Sherman’s comedy, written in 1995 and set in the 1970’s, is the writer as teller. His character Isaac Adams is a journalist, playwright and actor who is performing in his own play. Isaac’s monologues, punctuated with spotlights like doors that open to the other characters in his life, are interwoven with several back story vignettes that play out aside Isaac’s narrative.
As a journalist and a Jew in Chicago, Isaac’s attention is riveted to the proposed demonstration in Skokie, Illinois in 1977 by the American Nazi Party.
Only Jewish humor could make any of this funny.
And the brilliant highlight of the comedy is actor Michael Brian Ogden as Isaac. Ogden’s performance is a perfect tension of Isaac’s self-investigation and self-deprecation, of wit and worry, of sarcasm and silly. His questioning of his own reactions to the Nazi march prompts him to reconsider his need for a richer Jewish identity – which causes us to reconsider religious and cultural affiliations.
Ogden has a truly wonderful supporting cast in Henrietta Hermelin as his Jewish Mother, Leeanna Rubin (performing Oct. 10 for Kathryn Ruth Mayer) as his Jewish girlfriend, and Dana Dancho as his Shiksa (non-Jewish) girlfriend.
That’s how Isaac introduces them! And therein pulls the snag.
Every imaginable stereo-type from a generation ago, no matter how worn, tired and predictable, is roped into this play. His Jewish mother is pushy, stiff-necked and loud. His Jewish girlfriend is materialistic, distant and devout. His Shiksa girlfriend is sensual, appealing and fun. His father? Absent.
His characters are exaggerated for the laugh – and he gets it, he gets it. We get it.
As Sherman may be telling us a story that is true or not, real or not, his own or not – we wish the story could be at least a little original — and at most a story written with the insights available by 1995.
Yet, fine acting and moments of true sweetness make this a worthy show to see!
Arthur Beer and Drew Parker round out the excellent cast in a variety of roles constructed in the back story vignettes, scenes borrowed from “The Wizard of Oz,” “On the Waterfront” and “My Fair Lady,” just to name a few.
Will Sherman’s “God of Isaac” (as in the Bible) redeem him or not? Find out and judge for yourself.
The ‘God of Isaac’ by James Sherman runs through Oct. 31, at the Aaron DeRoy Theatre on the campus of the Jewish Community Center, 6600 West Maple Road in West Bloomfield. Tickets are $32-$41, with discounts for seniors, students, groups. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays; 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Saturdays; and 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Sundays.

DETROIT ARTS LIVE AND WORTH WATCHING: Palmer Park
TWO THEATERS PREMIERE A DETROIT DRAMA, ‘Palmer Park’
Inga Wilson and Casaundra Freeman perform with an excellent ensemble cast in ‘Palmer Park,’ a drama that revisits a 1960s fight against racism.
By Vivian DeGain
The Oakland Press, Sunday, April 25, 2010
Palmer Park and Palmer Woods, upper middle-class neighborhoods in Detroit, are exceptional for many reasons. They are historic landmarks. They house professional residents from the Wayne State University faculty and the Detroit leadership community of many races and backgrounds. They survived the 1967 Detroit riots, and its residents were willing to take a risk and attempt to make racial integration work.
Were they brilliant, brave, stubborn or naive — or did they have an insight little known to the rest of the Detroit residents?
Their story comes to life in the living rooms of “Palmer Park,” a new drama by Joanna McClelland Glass, now appearing at the Jewish Ensemble Theatre.
“Palmer Park,” which makes its United States premiere, is a co-production between the JET and the Hilberry Repertory Theatre of Wayne State University.
The play, complete with full cast and set, will then travel over The Hilberry and open through May 29.
McClelland-Glass, a highly awarded playwright with an extensive repertoire including “Canadian Gothic,” “American Modern,” “Artichoke” and “Trying,” lived in Palmer Park beginning in 1968. Her experiences, as well as those real and fictional in the neighborhoods of Palmer Park and Palmer Woods, brewed in her imagination for these 30 years.
The facts: In 1967, riots exploded in 59 U.S. cities, the worst of which was in Detroit. Following the 1967 “rebellion,” some 100,000 people fled the city in an exodus dubbed white flight. The result, plummeting property values and students suffering in over-crowded and under-funded public schools, became a tragic legacy for three generations.
Race, class, economics, competition and fear — are difficult topics not unfamiliar to those of us who have grown up in Detroit and the suburbs. Detroit is the most segregated city in America.
In the play “Palmer Park,” the residents and their highly-rated Hampton School aspire to racially integrate successfully. Two couples, the African-American Hazeltons, and the white Townsends, rally their neighbors and desperately fight to maintain the “right profile” of their community and school.
The cast for this “Palmer Park” includes Jason Echols as Fletch Hazelton and Casaundra Freeman as Linda Hazelton, Patrick Moltane as Martin Townsend and Inga Wilson as Kate Townsend, Greg Trzaskoma as Sol Rifkin and Milica Govich as Harriet Rifkin, Phil Powers as Phil Lamont and Linda Ramsay as Gretta Lamont, and Connell Brown Jr. as Ron Marshall and Toni Walker-White as Alice Marshall.
When the Townsends move-in next door to the Hazeltons – they bridge a series of steps. First they have to learn about each other and how to overcome their own imagined limitations. Then, they have to learn how to work together with other neighborhood advocates. Finally, they have to face other communities and authorities who challenge their ideas of integration and cooperation.
Because the play provokes difficult and necessary conversations about race and class – both the JET and the Hilberry will host audience “Talk Backs” with informed community leaders following many performances. All worth enjoying!
“Palmer Park” is a finely acted play – featuring an excellent cast as willing to take risks as the playwright herself.
The actors portray the private concerns of couples, and playful discussions as neighbors and friends.
They sing and dance for a New Year’s Eve Motown Review. They ham it up with a men’s comedy routine about Detroit’s baseball. They rally our spirits with the inspiration of their speeches, and they break our hearts with their disappointments.
Following the show April 15, the JET talk-back hosts were Michigan Chronicle Editor Bankole Thompson and Detroit Jewish News Publisher Arthur Horwitz.
Thompson said, “Palmer Park asks us to consider to what extent are we honestly willing to accept the reality, the consequences and the ramifications of integration? If every community has the right to self-identification, then how will the questions raised here be evidenced in the historical analysis?”
Horwitz asked audience members for feedback following the emotional play, “Can you use one word to describe your feelings?” Responses from the audience included the words: sadness, inequality, history, reality, frustration and regret.
Their feelings and further discussion will be aired at a symposium, “Detroit Then and Now” held at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, May 22 at the Hilberry Theatre, moderated by television news reporter Paula Tutman and led with several Detroit leaders and advocates.
The JET and the Hilberry present ‘Palmer Park.’ The play runs through May 9 at the JET’s Aaron DeRoy Theatre on the campus of the Jewish Community Center, 6600 West Maple Road in West Bloomfield. JET tickets are $32-$41 with discounts for seniors and students. JET performances at 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays; 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Saturdays; and 2 p.m. on Sundays, call 248-788-2900 or visit www.jettheatre.com. The play continues May 21-29 at the Hilberry Repertory Theatre on the campus of Wayne State University at 4743 Cass Ave. in Detroit. Hilberry tickets are $25 with discounts for seniors and students. Hilberry performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday May 21 and 28; noon on Saturday May 22 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday May 29; and 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 23 and Thursday May 27, call the Hilberry box office at 313-577-2972 or visit www.hilberry.com.
TALK BACKS:
The JET and the Hilberry will also host provocative and engaging Talk Backs following some performances.
The JET facilitators include Michigan Chronicle Editor Bankole Thompson, Detroit Jewish News Publisher Arthur Horwitz, Rabbi Norman Roman, Amyre Makupson, Daniel Little (University of Michigan-Dearborn), and Prof. Karl Gregory (former Palmer Park resident and Economics scholar.)
The Hilberry will host facilitators including Pam Halladay (Senior Program Officer, Hannan House), Donald Vest (Chairman Emeritus, Arts League of Michigan), Betsy Kellman (Regional Director, Michigan Region at Anti-Defamation League) and Thomas Costello (President/CEO of Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion).
A symposium, “Detroit Then and Now” will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 22 at the Hilberry Theatre, admission, $5. Moderated by Paula Tutman (WDIV Detroit), the symposium will feature Kurt Metzger (Director of Detroit Area Community Information System), Doug Ross (Founder and Superintendent of Detroit’s University Preparatory Academy), Cliff Schrupp (Director, Fair Housing Center of Metropolitan Detroit) and Shirley Stancato (President/CEO of New Detroit).

DETROIT ARTS LIVE AND WORTH WATCHING: Blank Page
Kitty Dubin’s ‘The Blank Page’
****
Four out of four stars
Review by Vivian DeGain
Arts and entertainment writer
As you might guess, “Blank Page,” Kitty Dubin’s world premiere running at the Jewish Ensemble Theatre through Nov. 8, is a play about a writer and what makes writers tick.
Professor Amy Kaplan (Sarab Kamoo) teaches a master’s level course while she is also a mother to a toddler, a wife to a man whose profession requires his 24-7 and often hers as well, and she is a writer trying to complete her second novel.
Amy is overwhelmed by the very real demands pulling on her time and energy, and she suffers the crisis of confidence that undermines her best work.
The paradox of the story, and one that I think more women than men understand, is of course the perfect metaphor in the blank page and what we see on it. Children’s meals in need of cooking. Houses in need of dusting. Social obligations in need of partnering.
At the beginning of Dubin’s drama, the page is still blank, — but words appear that are very clear about the ending. Her editor has written to say her manuscript is due, no excuses, by the end of the semester.
Crank the tension when a very gifted and ambitious young writer enrolls in Amy’s class, a young woman in whom she sees herself about 10 years earlier. Stories roll off the tongue for this new one, Alex Malone (Leslie Ann Handelman.)
And Amy’s husband, Rabbi Danny Kaplan (John Lepard) wants to be supportive — but their life, like so many marriages or organizations today, is one where everyone is already working overtime. Where is the opening?
Dubin said, “The stakes are so high, with all of her identity and professional ties at risk. Every passion is in conflict — and she doesn’t handle it well. She is angry. She is overwhelmed. She loses it, but good.”
Amy’s only source of relief is her best friend Joy Fields (Naz Edwards). Joy is also a professor and a woman 10 years older. Joy offers solace and support, yet Amy manages to alienate her friend as well.
All of this, in the first half. This critic never gives away the ending, but Dubin is a master craftsman and in this play, she shines.
If there is a message that this critic and writer loves about “Blank Page” — it is that if it takes a community to raise a child, it also takes a family and a community to raise an artist.
If there is a Jewish message in “Blank Page” it is about what we do and where we go that counts. We must look within, but we must not look only within.
Dubin’s “Blank Page” is superbly written, brilliantly directed and stunningly acted.
Titled “Blank Page” we would expect the story to be about a writer and the distance that writers must go from the blank page to the completed story.
The surprise in the “Blank Page” story is that this story is not only about writers. Each of us awakens every morning with a blank page. Each of us stares at an unwritten chapter of the challenges and the rewards of living a creative life, a loving life, an invested life. The choice is ours.
Directed by Gillian Eaton, this formidable and top notch ensemble is one of the best plays this critic has seen in the Detroit area in years! Dubin is the Playwright-in-Residence for the Jewish Ensemble Theatre’s 2009-10 season. www.jettheatre.com.
The Jewish Ensemble Theatre presents ‘The Blank Page’ through Nov. 8, at the Aaron DeRoy Theatre on the campus of the Jewish Community Center, 6600 West Maple Road in West Bloomfield. Tickets are $28-$36. Discounts for seniors, students, groups. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 5 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday; and 2 p.m. on Sundays and on Nov. 4.

DETROIT ARTS: Live and Worth Watching JET Opens with new Kitty Dubin drama ‘Blank Page’
Kitty Dubin’s ‘The Blank Page’ opens Jewish Ensemble Theatre season
By Vivian DeGain
The Oakland Press Sunday, Oct. 11, 2009
Of her newest creation, “Blank Page,” a world premiere opening at the Jewish Ensemble Theatre this week, playwright Kitty Dubin has much in common with the protagonist of her drama.
Both are writers and professors.
Both are women facing the demands of midlife while jockeying work, family and concrete creative deadlines.
At least one difference is that Dubin, who lives in Birmingham and teaches at Oakland University, has numerous credits in the business, including her full length productions “Mirrors,” “The Last Resort,” “Change Of Life,” “The Day We Met,” “Dance Like No One’s Watching” and “Coming Of Age,” as well as numerous one act plays.
Her character Amy, on the other hand, is still working on her second novel.
“She is a creative writing professor who once had a very successful literary career. She wrote her first novel when she could dedicate her whole life and all of her energy to her work, before kids and before her marriage to a man whose career absolutely demanded that she participate,” Dubin said.
“The play begins as Amy is struggling to finish her second, long-awaited novel despite increasing conflicts in her marriage. She is also teaching a master’s level class to a very gifted and ambitious young writer in whom she sees herself about 10 years earlier. The inciting incident in the plot occurs when she receives a letter from her publisher demanding the finished manuscript by the end of the semester or else,” Dubin said.
“The stakes are so high, with all of her identity and professional ties at risk. Every passion is in conflict — and she doesn’t handle it well. She is angry. She is overwhelmed. She loses it, but good.”
“Blank Page” frames the drama with four characters: Amy, her husband, her impressive student and a best friend, “another university professor who is about 10 years older and divorced for several years.”
“There is so much to this story that people will relate to. The difficulty of professional loss. The challenge of midlife and coming of age. The differences of the viewpoints of the three women because of their decades apart – the older who since her divorce is afraid of the pain and disappointment she experienced, and the younger who has such a sense of entitlement,” Dubin said.
As “Blank Page” opens Jewish Ensemble Theatre’s 2009-10 fall season, Dubin is the JET’s own Playwright-in-Residence and facing the concrete deadline of opening night and perfecting the script out loud and in public.
The play is directed by Gillian Eaton and the cast includes Sarab Kamoo, John Lepard, Naz Edwards and Leslie Ann Handelman – a formidable and top notch ensemble.
“Gillian Eaton has a remarkable understanding of the process of creative writing, staging and acting, of hearing the dialogue and of what is needed in rewriting. I couldn’t be in better hands. I have the utmost respect for her as a collaborator. She pushes me to make the play, the best it could be,” Dubin said.
“The play has been in development for two years, with four different professional readings on stage, all a part of the refining process. You can’t really rewrite dialogue until you hear it out loud. Even now as I am seeing it with costumes and stage designers – it’s with new eyes.”
Dubin, who has been writing plays for more than twenty-five years, said it is a fluid, exciting, challenging and very rewarding process. While all kinds of stories begin with the author, then become something quite different in the mind of the reader, she said, “the thing about this kind of writing is that you really have to let go.”
