Lunt-Fontanne Theatre & The Jewish Education Project: November 12, 2025 at 1:30 pm - 8:00 pm EST, In-Person

Death is inevitable, yet American culture denies its reality. Join The Jewish Education Project on Wednesday, November 12, 1:30-8:00pm to see Death Becomes Her, the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical comedy based on the classic 1992 film. Together, we’ll explore the kinds of meaningful Jewish conversations around death we can bring to our learners.  

“If you want perfection,” you’ll join us for this Broadway show experience!  

This Day of Learning is for educators and engagement professionals who work with youth or teens on Long Island, in NYC, and in Westchester in synagogues, JCCs, youth serving movements, after-school programs, independent models, and more.

This Day of Learning will include the Broadway show, post-show programming and discussion, and a kosher dinner.

Cost: $60 (paid upon acceptance)

Submission of an application does not signify acceptance. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis and acceptances will begin in late August.
