Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company

The Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company presented Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story at the Meridian Arts Centre from November 12-24, 2022. A Theatre 2b production written by Hannah Moscovitch, directed by Christian Barry with songs by Ben Caplan and Christian Barry.

At the Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company we embrace and celebrate the Jewish story – stories about our history, stories about our beliefs, stories about our struggles and triumphs.

These stories have been 5,000 years in the making; they have universal application. These stories have to be told and need to be seen.

It is our responsibility and privilege to share them with the world.
