A Memorable Afternoon of Entertainment, Learning & Discussion 🎭

Our Kol Ami community and guests thoroughly enjoyed the engaging and thought-provoking presentation by Shakespearience Performing Arts.

Through live performance and audience participation, the program explored The Merchant of Venice and sparked meaningful conversation around antisemitism, ethics, and the role of the arts.

Stay tuned — we look forward to offering more inspiring programs in the near future!

Sunday, May 3 | 2:30 PM
Kol Ami Synagogue (9600 Bathurst Street - Kimel Family Education Centre)
Kol Ami Members: $18

Join us for a powerful and interactive 90-minute presentation by Shakespearience Performing Arts exploring the role of the arts in confronting antisemitism. Using The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare as a starting point, professional actors will guide participants through performance, audience participation, and facilitated discussion examining whether the play’s portrayal of Jewish identity remains relevant — or problematic — today.

This engaging program invites thoughtful dialogue on ethics, representation, and the role of the arts in shaping societal values.
