FESTIVAL OPEN DAY
Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation is having an Open Day during the Festival and we are inviting performers and groups who are involved with events or plays with a Jewish cultural interest to come along.
You could have a 10 minute slot to perform an extract from your show and talk about it with our guest presenter, writer and producer David Ian Neville. Food and drink (non-alcoholic, unfortunately!) will be provided. This will give you an extra opportunity to publicise your show, meet members of the local Jewish Community and visitors to Edinburgh and of course meet other Festival participants.
Previous Open Days have featured Festival performers and guests from all over the world and there is usually an eclectic mix of drama, music and conversation.
The Open Day will be held at the Synagogue at 4 Salisbury Road on Sunday 23rd August 2009 between 1100-1500 hours.
