SUMMARY:Shushan in Session: The Megillah\, Mediated
DESCRIPTION:Shushan in Session:\nThe Megillah\, Mediated\nMarch 2\, 2026\nDoors Open @ 7pm*\nWhat if…courageous conversations saved the kingdom from fear\, deception and bloodshed? \nThe traditional Purim story is full of silences\, secrets\, decrees\, and power plays. But in our upside-down version\, difference is not a threat but a source of strength\, and truth-telling and real talk are what change the fate of the Jewish people.  \nMitzi – Lab/Shul’s resident Commander/Prophetess/Mistress of Ceremonies – returns to perform another Purim Mitzvah\, this time to repair the story of Purim. How will she do it? By summoning the characters of the Megillah – and\, inexplicably\, some famous modern-day friends – from their ancient scrolls onto the stage\, and putting her conflict resolution training to the test for a group mediation.  \nJoin us for SHUSHAN IN SESSION: The Megillah\, Mediated. We are not making the story “nicer.” We are making it truer to who we aspire to be. \nThe ritual performance will feature Ben Freeman\, Shira Kline\, Naomi Less\, Stuart B Meyers\, Melissa Shaw & Sarah Sokolic + Special Guest Artists. \nTHE SCHEDULE: \n\n7pm – Doors Open\n7:30PM – Act 1 – The Neighborhood’s Drag Megillah reading ft. Abbi G’zunt & friends\n8:30PM – Act 2 – Lab/Shul’s SHUSHAN IN SESSION: The Megillah\, Mediated ft. Ben Freeman\, Shira Kline\, Naomi Less\, Stuart B Meyers\, Melissa Shaw & Sarah Sokolic + Special Guest Artists\n10:00PM: After Party – UNTIL 4AM – In partnership W. Temple of the Stranger\, Flaminggg & The Neighborhood\n\nAll are welcome. Creepiness isn’t tolerated. 21+. More questions? houseofyes.org/FAQ \nRegister HERE >>\n*USE CODE LABSHUL for $5 off*\nIf financial need is a concern\, please connect with us at: polyesther2025@gmail.com

SUMMARY:PURIMMESSTHER
DESCRIPTION:PURIMMESSTHER\nSaturday\, March 23rd\nBrooklyn\n10:30pm – Performance\n11:45pm – Party hosted by FLAMINGGG\nThis Purim – a night of topsy-turvy in a world already turned upside down – we accept the impossibility of one right choice in our strive for justice. Despite our follies and failures\, Mordechai’s feverish call to Esther still rings true\, that we “were created for a moment such as this” (4:14). How does this ancient call to action inspire us to continue scribing a more just\, peaceful future? Lab/Shul invites you to step into the Purim story through a night of music and cabaret\, to wrestle with the binaries of this ancient tale\, and reveal our truest\, most authentic selves in a celebration of song and performance. Supported by a phenomenal house band of radical ritualists\, we journey with the Megillah’s characters through their original performance pieces to rise to meet this moment. \nFollowing the performance\, we’ll transition into MESSTHER\, hosted by NY’s queer Jewish party FLAMINGGG to celebrate a reimagined future. DJ’s Party Girl\, Chaia of Kleztronica & Cher Muta (aka Jonathan Moshe Cohen) will spin mystical madness on the dance floor\, super-soaking you with Adar-licious joy until dawn.\nMore performance happenings TBA. \nReserve your spot >\nProceeds from PURIMESSTHER ticket sales will be donated in support of Sulha Peace Project\, which was founded over 20 years ago with the goal of creating eye-to-eye\, heart-to-heart encounters between Palestinians and Israelis.
