While Esther: the Feast of Masks is rooted in a story traditionally enjoyed around the Jewish spring holiday Purim, the program itself is not specifically about the holiday, and is suitable for all seasons. It is particuarly well-suited to programming around:
  • Multifaith explorations of identity and community
  • Women's issues, especially for International Women's Month (March)
  • Multicultural music
  • Teen issues of identity
If you are interested in bringing Esther: the Feast of Masks to your community, please contact Ellen Kushner.

Technical requirements for the show include:

  • a sound system with monitors suitable to the venue
  • a sound engineer
  • a well-tuned piano
  • piano bench
  • on-stage chairs for three musicians
  • a keyboard amplifier for the accordion
  • four music stands with lights
  • a small coat tree on-stage for costumes
  • a small table or high stool
