French Republic

Winner of the Drama Desk Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Play, Prayer for the French Republic is one of the most celebrated new works in contemporary theatre.
In 2016 Paris, a Jewish couple offers refuge to a frightened young man after an anti-Semitic attack. Across time, their story intertwines with that of their ancestors in 1944, tracing generations of one family’s hope, faith, and fear in a country they love but no longer fully trust.
Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews, Significant Other) weaves together past and present with humor, heartbreak, and startling honesty. The result is a powerful exploration of identity, belonging, and the meaning of home in an uncertain world.
Lauded by critics as “a riveting epic” and “a masterpiece of modern drama,” Prayer for the French Republic invites audiences to witness one family’s struggle to stay rooted in their homeland—and to ask what it truly means to feel safe, and to belong.
Jewish Theatre of Oklahoma’s mission is to explore the rich social, cultural, and spiritual heritage of the Jewish people through theater-going experiences.
We seek to illuminate our cultural heritage through exploring Jewish themes and giving voice to Jewish playwrights and ideas.
With performances and discussion, we hope to strengthen our Jewish community and its ties to the broader multicultural world around us.
In some small way, through entertainment and education, we can help to stem the rising tide of anti-Semitism.
