SUMMARY:POSTPONED – An Evening with Tony Award Winner Ari’el Stachel
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed.\nA Curated Performance & Conversation Experience\nJoin us at The Hub for a one-night-only opportunity to see Tony Award–winning actor Ari’el Stachel for an intimate, powerful evening of storytelling, performance, and dialogue.\nThis experience is an intimate version of his acclaimed solo show, which initially premiered at Berkeley Rep and made its New York debut Off-Broadway in the fall of 2025. Through humor, vulnerability, and masterful character work, Ari explores themes of identity, mental health, and belonging as an Arab-Jewish artist navigating multiple worlds.\nWritten and performed by Stachel, the show traces his lifelong struggle with OCD, the pressure to assimilate, and the identity fracture that began in the aftermath of 9/11. As a Middle Eastern Jewish teenager in America, Ari’el quickly learned that safety meant silence. He began hiding his father, denying his roots, and reshaping himself to fit a culture that viewed his heritage as suspect. What began as protection became performance—until it all broke.\nAri’el plays dozens of characters, including “Meredith,” the personified voice of his anxiety who guides, manipulates, and ultimately hijacks his pursuit of belonging. The play climaxes with a powerful post–October 7 sequence, added in 2024, that confronts the impossibility of holding Arab and Jewish identity in a world demanding division. What emerges is a deeply personal, politically charged, and darkly funny attempt to reclaim wholeness—onstage and off.\nAbout Ari’el Stachel:\nAri’el Stachel is a Tony®- and GRAMMY®-winning actor, writer, and activist known for his breakout performance in The Band’s Visit. After years of success playing roles that often flattened or erased his full identity, Ari’el set out to tell a story only he could tell. Born to a Yemenite Israeli father and an Ashkenazi Jewish mother, raised in California, and trained in New York, Ari’el’s journey as a performer has been shaped by code-switching, cultural erasure, and the constant pressure to conform. In his acclaimed solo show Other, which premiered at Berkeley Rep and made its New York debut Off-Broadway in the fall of 2025, Ari’el merges his theatrical virtuosity with raw personal storytelling. Ari’el has performed Other at leading theaters across the country and continues to resonate with diverse audiences. On screen, he stars in the upcoming feature Death Do Us Part and has appeared in Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling (Warner Bros.) and A24’s Zola. His television credits include Law & Order: SVU, Billions, Jessica Jones, Blue Bloods, and The Night Agent. Stachel has also been at the cutting edge of bridging Arab and Jewish identities through his work—creating space for complexity, contradiction, and shared humanity in a deeply divided cultural moment. He has also been featured on MSNBC to speak about Jewish identity and cultural belonging.
