Yentl is by Leah Napolin based on the short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer. This classic play is the story of a Jewish girl, Yentl, who wants to study the Torah, an activity forbidden to girls in Poland in the 1800s. After the death of her father, she sells everything, cuts her hair, disguises herself as a boy, and leaves town. She enrolls in school in a nearby town. There she falls in love with Avigdor, and decides to marry the girl he loves - because nothing can possibly go wrong with that.
Ratings: 10th grade - 8 out of 10 - AC (some mature thematic content).
