Don't Cry For Me: My Yeshiva

Written & performed by Joe Fox, this part musical, part memoir explores a lifelong search for family, love and connection. Don’t Cry For Me: My Yeshiva is the story of Joe Fox and the making of his documentary of a same-sex marriage referendum battle that took place in Maine. Throughout the three month campaign – Joe needed to “play it straight” in the Lobster State in order to gain access to the side that opposed marriage for all. Gaining a remarkable front row seat to those who saw him as being less than human; this is a story of the need to connect and reach across the insurmountable divide. Part musical parody, part memoir and part cry from the heart to love the ones we choose; this unforgettable evening takes the audience on an incredible life journey that begins for Joe in a Yeshiva classroom – eventually bringing him to Maine and beyond. A journey that ends in the most unexpected and wondrous of places. After rave reviews at the 92Y, we are thrilled to host this show at The Ark! Learn more at www.crymyyeshiva.com
