YP Night at the Theater: Memoriam

Join Emanu El Young Professionals for a night at the theatre as we see Main Street Theater’s world premiere production of Memoriam. Written by an Israeli playwright, Memoriam delves into themes of memory and the holocaust.

About the Play:
In the near future, Memoriam Inc. buys and sells memories, digitizing them for mass-viewership. Customers can rent memories and experience them fully, even feeling the sensations the original memory-holder felt: childbirth, joyful reunions, romantic wedding proposals – almost like watching a short movie but much more intimate and personal. Now Rachel, a buyer for Memoriam, is going after the most important and most personal memory acquisition she has ever sought: the memories of the last holocaust survivor on earth – who happens to be her own grandmother. A powerful, painful, loving story of family and what memories mean, who owns them, and what we owe to future generations.

A limited number of tickets are available for purchase on our website. If you have questions, please contact Becca Taylor at beccat@emanuelhouston.org
