SYNOPSISA troupe of passionate (but not-quite-ready-for-prime-time) performers band together to create the greatest Hanukkah show there ever was…in just eight days! As the clock ticks and the candles burn, the Dreidel Players scramble to discover the true meaning of the season and bring a little light into the world. The result is a hilarious series of joyful, latke-scented sketches and scenes about all things Hanukkah – delivered tongue-in-cheek and hand-on-heart.

ROLES (Expandable; 4 minimum)Gloria – passionate, maternal and a fan of matching T-shirts, she has formed the unlikely troupe to fulfill a mission: to create an enduring Hanukkah classic.

Barbara – A grand dame of community theatre and Gloria’s real estate agent.She has sacrificed her 11-year run in A Christmas Carol to be part of Gloria’s dream, though she grows skeptical of their ability to pull it off.

Walter – a self-doubting, self-published novelist and Gloria’s dentist.

Simon – Gloria’s friend’s nephew and the only one to respond to her Facebook casting call.He brings an innocent, open-minded energy; also, not Jewish.
