The Seed of Abraham -A Musical THE SEED OF ABRAHAM - A MUSICAL @ THE NYC INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL
"The Seed of Abraham" takes its audience back to the year 1967. In Israel, guns blaze, bombs fall, and a young nation fights for its life during the Six Day War. In the Bronx, three young people fight for their dreams. Benjamin, a promising singer, Abie, a talented dancer, and Leah, a budding journalist, defy their parents' wishes and now find themselves on the brink of success. But when war breaks out in the Holy Land, loyalties are tested, and their fates hang in the balance forcing these teens to decide: do they answer to themselves, to their families -- or to God? Sometimes all it takes is a leap of faith.
