Temple will host ‘Dummies and Dreidels’ on Sunday

A children’s Hanukkah event, run in part by Ridgewood’s Temple Israel, will take place Sunday morning at Temple Beth Shalom in Fair Lawn.

The event, called “Dummies and Dreidels,” will feature family-friendly entertainment and refreshments, according to Rabbi Estelle Mills of Temple Israel.

The program will include a Hanukkah carnival for pre-school and elementary aged school children, a puppet show by a nationally-known Jewish puppeteer and latkes and other foods, Mills said.

The puppeteer, Jonathan Geffner, will be performing with “his wacky, whimsical, wooden sidekicks in the highly acclaimed Maccabee Mishegash Puppet Show,” according to a news release for the event.

Ridgewood’s Amy Sellars directs play

Amy Sellars play Fair Lawn

Fair Lawn’s Radburn Players will present Sharr White’s drama “Annapurna,” opening on Nov. 13. The production is directed by Ridgewood resident and Radburn Players President Amy Sellars.

“Annapurna” tells what happens when Ulysses is confronted by his estranged wife Emma after 20 years apart. The play stars Stuart Aion of Caldwell and Erica Kresch of Hawthorne.

“It’s got the oldest device of two actors in one room forced to work out their problems simply by proximity,” Sellars said. “It’s very character-driven. The plot unravels throughout the course of the show and it’s quite a dramatic finale.”

The characters were the primary reason Sellars chose the play. “I like to work with actors based on character development, so that’s part and parcel why I chose it,” she said. “As a published poet, there was something about the way Ulysses used language and poetry that was so stunning and poignant that I personally connected with it.”

The show isn’t recommended for children due to its strong content, but Sellars hopes it attracts young adults. “Live theater has a lot to offer and you can learn a lot from a production that challenges the way you think,” she said. “It’s an important step away from reality TV culture.”
