Hanukkah Spectacular
Woolly Mammoth Theatre
641 D St NW Washington
641 D St NW Washington
Set over a long weekend in a Midtown talent agency, Hanukkah Spectacular drops us into a glass-walled pressure cooker where a group of Jewish artists attempt the seemingly impossible: to make a commercially viable holiday hit about Hanukkah. What starts as a rehearsal comedy becomes a reckoning as lines between actor and character dissolve, a brother and sister's unresolved history cracks the room open, a writer's nervous system short-circuits, and a veteran director discovers his real job: to be the parent nobody cast him as.
