“This was a wonderful opportunity for the community to examine the hidden prejudices we all harbor in the context of this very engaging play.”
Bekki Harris Kaplan, Executive Director, Beth Emet, The Free Synagogue, Evanston, IL
“As wonderful as the play was, it was equally as moving to see how engaged people were with the debate.”
Cantor Michelle Drucker Friedman, Emanuel Congregation, Chicago, IL
“Bringing THE DEFAMATION EXPERIENCE to our synagogue proved gratifying for a number of reasons: it inspired thoughtful discussion and reflection about our own views of race and equality and allowed us to explore the nuances of other perspectives.”
Christopher C.F. Chapman, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Raleigh, NC
“I think people came expecting to be challenged by good ideas (or else they would not have come…and some of them chose Defamation over the Duke-Carolina basketball game!); what they did not anticipate adequately was how well written and acted the play was, and how insightful and wisely-guided the conversation was… These conversations are incredibly important for our national life.”
