Synagogue Scratch 2024
A season of work-in-progress performances celebrating new Jewish art.
Join us this Spring for ‘Synagogue Scratch’, a season of evening performances in our historic synagogue, celebrating new Jewish works-in-progress.
Come and see shows ranging from poetry and talks, to plays and vocal recitals, all with a little bit of Sephardi flavour, as a nod to the 150th anniversary of our Spanish & Portuguese synagogue this year.
This season we are supporting new and experimental Jewish art and want you to be the first people to see a project up on its feet, before it becomes a bestseller. So, whether you’re into music, theatre or spoken word, come and support new Jewish work this Spring at Manchester Jewish Museum.
Our spring line-up includes:
