Get your tickets now, folks! Here, the cast and director share what makes this play so gripping, so complicated—and so impossible to shake.

The arguments cut deeper.
The tension builds faster.

And once you hear what’s behind it all… you’ll want to see it for yourself.

We’re back.

A new week, a fresh audience, and the conversation starts all over again.

Cherry Docs returns to the stage tonight—sharp, fast, and as provocative as ever. No two audiences react the same, and that’s exactly what makes this ride so thrilling.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment… this is it.

Today, we pause.

On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, and we honor the survivors, the witnesses, and the stories that must never be forgotten.

At Sarasota Jewish Theatre, remembrance lives in the stories we bring to the stage. In Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski, we were called to witness one man’s urgent attempt to awaken the world to the horrors unfolding before it—and the consequences when that call goes unanswered. In Cherry Docs, we are confronted with the enduring presence of hatred, and the difficult, necessary work of standing up to it.

These plays remind us that memory is not passive. It demands action. It asks us to listen more closely, to speak more boldly, and to recognize the warning signs of history repeating itself.

We light a candle for those who were lost.
We lift up the voices that endured.
And we recommit ourselves to telling these stories—fully, truthfully, and with humanity.

Never forget.
