Drama, drag and the Merchant

The Six Points Theater, formerly known as the Minnesota Jewish Theater, has announced its 2023-24 season.

The season will begin in October with “Sisters in Law,” a play about the friendship between U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O’Connor.

In March, the theater will offer a world premiere of “The Gentle Jewess of Venice,” a reimagining of “The Merchant of Venice.” Also planned: “Torch Song,” Harvey Fierstein’s autobiographical play about working as a drag queen in New York in the 1970s-80s.
