A neo-Nazi skinhead is charged with murder, and Legal Aid has assigned him a Jewish lawyer. As he develops a defense for the skinhead, the lawyer is forced to examine the limits of his own liberalism, and the demons underlying it. β€œCherry Docs” is an unblinking examination of hatred, the explosive effect it has on our society, and the hurdles that confront us as we set about eradicating it.

Following each performance, there will be a talk back with the cast. Monday evening’s performance will be moderate by Ben Freeman from Lab/Shul. Tuesday afternoon’s performance will be moderate by Rabbi Sam Natov from Stephen Wise Free Synagogue.
