A Walk on the Moon Fellowship
The Workshop is proud to announce its partnership with A Walk on The Moon: A New Musical. A unique fellowship aimed at increasing the representation of up-and-coming JOCISM (Jews of Color, Jewish-Indigenous, Sephardi and/or Mizrahi) and BIPOC creatives in professional theater, this project provides select fellows with critical career opportunities. Over the course of the production, fellows take paid assistant roles in creative departments, receive professional mentorship and guidance, and have access to broader holistic support from The Workshop’s leadership.
About A Walk on The Moon
Welcome to the iconic summer of 1969 when man walked on the moon, women fought for equal rights, the War in Vietnam raged on, and Woodstock showed America what the new generation stood for. At a Jewish bungalow colony in the Catskills, a young wife and mother, Pearl Kantrowitz, has an affair with the handsome blouse salesman. While the affair jeopardizes her marriage and creates pain and turmoil, Pearl is forced to undertake a journey of self-discovery.
