Indecent

By Paula Vogel 

Powerful and haunting, Indecent by Paula Vogel tells the true story behind the controversial 1923 Broadway production of Sholem Asch’s God of Vengeance. Exploring themes of love, censorship, and the resilience of art in the face of oppression, this play weaves music, dance, and storytelling into a moving tapestry. Indecent is a celebration of the enduring power of theatre and a must-see for audiences who crave thought-provoking drama.

Cast List 

Thank you to everyone who auditioned. I can honestly say these decisions were some of the hardest I’ve ever had to make as a director, as many of your auditions were excellent. If you are a freshman, we’d love to see you come out for Matilda Jr in February. 

If you are cast, please email me by Monday, December 1 to accept your role. If you do not accept your role by then, we will assume that you decline and may offer your role to someone else.
