Reprise of "Hereville" Book by Robby Sandler with Jess Kaufman Music by Lizzie Hagstedt Lyrics by Robby Sandler, based on the Hereville graphic novels by Barry Deutsch. This family friendly musical is about an Orthodox Jewish girl who hasn't quite figured out how to live with her stepmother ... or without her mama. When she meets a witch outside of town, she unleashes a series of events that can only be solved by someone exactly like her (or so she hopes!). The Whole Megillah celebrates new plays that are “unapologetically” Jewish and express the entire gamut of Jewish ideas, affiliations, and experiences. Thank you to Whole Megillah sponsors Dylan Jacobs and Mikayla Wilson. Festival Producer – Rebecca Myers Co-produced by Kids On Stage productions. Related links: JFEST information
