In this 3-week course we will use pieces of wisdom as inspiration for hilarious advertisements to be written and performed.
Together we will study Pirkei Avot, a book of quotable lessons from the Mishnah and what they mean to us today. We will choose teachings that are meaningful to us and write and perform commercials to advertise their ideas. We will improvise, laugh, get silly, wear costumes, and have a lot of fun. By the end of the 3 weeks we will have written, filmed, and presented our special commercials.
We will learn and laugh together as only The Bible Players can.
