Performance that brings us together.

  • Yentl

    In 2024, in collaboration with Kadimah Yiddish Theatre, Monstrous Theatre, and Neil Gooding Productions, Shalom Collective presented a 5-week run of the pioneering stage production of Yentl at the Sydney Opera House.

    This adaptation paid homage to the feminist and queer layers within the original story, inviting audiences to delve into the intersections of religion, gender, sexuality, and Yiddish culture.
    The production won four Green Room Awards, including accolades for outstanding writing and performance; solidifying its impact on contemporary Jewish and Australian theatre as well as nominated for six Sydney Theatre Awards.
