Mildred's Umbrella Theater closes their 2024-2025 season with the Houston premiere of The Wanderers by Anna Ziegler. The production is the first of two co-productions with the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center of Houston.
Two marriages have seemingly little in common: Esther and Schmuli are Orthodox Jews navigating strictly defined rules and roles, while Sophie and Abe are secular and free to make their own choices. But both couples are growing apart as they strive to balance their individual identities with the families they've created. As Esther tests the boundaries of her personal freedom, Abe falls into a correspondence with a movie star that will shake the foundations of his marriage and career. This funny, moving, and thoughtful play asks if following one's truth is worth it, no matter the cost.
