Victory, a captivating Israeli musical, has it all: great music, saturated color sets, spark and seriousness. Set during the euphoria following the Six-Day War, it tackles serious issues of war’s lasting on young couples. Boasting award-winning melodies, beautifully sung and staged with top-notch art direction and choreography, this distinctive song-and-dance production with a potent anti-war message delivers and unexpected emotional punch and great entertainment.

All screenings are open to the public and take place in the congregation’s Blanche & Joel D. Seifer Community Center at 7 Hatchville Road, East Falmouth. Everyone is welcome and facilities and parking are accessible to all.
