From Baghdad to Brooklyn

Thu, January 15 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm


From Baghdad to Brooklyn is Michelle Azar’s heartfelt and humorous one-woman journey through ancestry, identity, and Jewish life. Exploring how two distinct ancestral cultures shape her life’s path and her relationship to all things Jewish, the play travels from Baghdad to Brooklyn, Poland, and Israel, weaving deep sentiment with wit and warmth. Illuminating a family’s story across generations, the piece blends storytelling with live music by master oud Yoni Battat and renowned pianist Elizabeth Yaron, the show’s original musical arranger and a beloved longtime accompanist at Temple Emanuel. Directed by award winning director and Temple Emanuel member, Brian Kite, this intimate and expansive personal family tale set within a rich historical landscape is ultimately universal, resonant, and redemptive.

Written and Performed by Michelle Azar
Directed by Brian Kite
Yoni Battat and Elizabeth Yaron
