For San Diego Repertory Theatre, the downside of having to produce its 28th annual Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Arts Festival online is not being able to bring the community together under one roof. But the upside is that this year’s virtual festival running May 13 through June 23 will be largest and most international festival ever.
Among the artists scheduled for concerts, plays, Q&A sessions and other events are Tony Award winner Ben Platt and his singing brothers, Hershey Felder broadcasting his latest world premiere play from Italy, Grammy-nominated singer Perla Batalla and four-time Tony nominee Tovah Feldshuh, an actor, singer and playwright. This year’s events will also include the inauguration of a two-day festival of new Jewish plays on Memorial Day weekend called “The Whole Megillah.”
