BCRC Purim Spiel - a big Hit!
03/16/2025 11:37:45 AM
The BCRC Family Players brought new life to an age-old story with Mission Implausible, an 80's style super-spy adaptation of the Book of Esther! While Etna Hunt was unavailable, his intrepid sister Elaine (played by Taylor Medoff) took on a high powered mission in the Kingdom of Shushan, butting heads with dim-witted spies (Sue Mandel-Giblin, JP Scheff and Julia Galtarossa), an even more dim-witted King (Chris Shumaker) and evil villain you-know who (lane Miller). Not to mention heroes Esther (Amber Jackson) and Mordechai (Bob Arbetter). Thanks to our scriptwriter/co-director Mark Raffman and co-director Ariel Shumaker. We also thank cast members Barbara and David Mendelsohn and David Waldman, lyricists Stacy Kafka, Lissa Morinsky, Jack Ziebell and Rachel Zuckerman, sound engineer Brian Giblin and of course our producer Rabbi Amy!
