Why is this program different from all other programs? "Passover is like theatre," says Theodore Bikel in the introduction. And producer James Metzner has created a very theatrical meditation with this "Seder at the end of the universe," full of humor and history as it relates the tradition of celebrating a seder to the here and now. There are many surprising elements like guests such as Albert Einstein and Frederick Douglas and sharing gifts of sound. The large ensemble of voices are wonderful, the scripting excellent and the whole production polished. A joy to listen on this sunny spring morning!

Thanks to David Swatling for the kind words. I regret we did not promote Passover Dreams on PRX this time around. Next year -- on the internet!
