Queens Girl in the WorldHave some culture with your challah- join EntryPointDC and young professionals for Shabbat dinner and a show! 

In honor of Sukkot, we'll eat our delicious (kosher!) Shabbat dinner together in the DCJCC's sukkah, then see Theater J's latest production, Queens Girl in the World- part of Locally Grown: Community Supported Art Initiative and 2015 Women’s Voices Theater Festival

Stay after the show for a discussion with playwright Caleen Jennings and Theater J Producer Delia Taylor.


About the Show
It’s summer 1962 in Queens, New York. The sounds of doo-wop music fill the night, the Civil Rights movement is stirring and 12-year-old Jacqueline Marie Butler is on the verge of adulthood. When Jacqueline’s parents abruptly transfer her to a progressive school in Greenwich Village where she is one of only four black students, she is thrust out of her comfort zone. As her circle expands to include friends from every walk of life, Jacqueline discovers a new city and a whole new world.
