"Where Music and Theater Meet" (Season 2, Episode 7) dropped on Wednesday, August 17 with our fifteenth guest: Ben Caplan, a writer and performer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Tune in as Ben and Danielle discuss Ben's piece "Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story", his relationship to immigration and diaspora, and his work as a musician and theatre maker. Theatre Schmooze is an all-new, monthly podcast from Alliance for Jewish Theatre where we chat with Jewish theatre makers from around the world about their art, Judaism, and vision for theater's future. Hosted by Danielle Levsky (AJT Board Member, writer, clown, performer, educator, producer, and theatre journalist), Theatre Schmooze will feature one-on-one conversations with artists that will illuminate the heart, soul, and diversity of contemporary Jewish theatre. Theatre Schmooze is an Alliance for Jewish Theatre program, produced by Danny Debner and Danielle Levsky. Our theme music is by Ilya Levinson and Alex Koffman, and our logo was created by Michelle Shapiro.

This week we connect with Canadian singer-songwriter and theatre-maker Ben Caplan. Ben joins us from the car park of a Canadian fast-food giant called Tim Hortons, en route to play a socially distanced gig as part of the Small Halls Festival in Ottawa.We get all the deets about life and lockdown in Canada. Ben has praise for his government’s response to the pandemic – in stark contrast to what we’ve heard from other artists both here in the UK and elsewhere. We talk about Ben’s identity as a Jewish man, his experiences of antisemitism, and how growing up with Jewish values like tikkun olam (literally “repair of the world”) inspires him to make art that leaves a smile on our faces and a question in our hearts.Plus, after recovering from the shock of hearing someone talk so positively about their government, Katherine and Paul reflect on how heartfelt and eloquent Ben is, which gives us an idea about how we can fix this mess... #BenCaplanForPrimeMinister.Links, resources and episode timestamps (for all you skippers out there) below.____ABOUT BENBen Caplan is a songwriter, performer and entertainer in the most time-honoured sense of the word. From the moment he walks onto the stage, you are filled with his infectious spirit, and captivating presence. You can feel Caplan's comfort and ease as he strides in front of the crowd and begins the controlled collective descent into chaos.In his latest project, Ben Caplan explores themes of immigration, loss, darkness, love, sex, and God. Caplan is touring with a fresh batch of songs which were originally composed for a new musical play called Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story. The award winning play had its international debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it won top festival honours, and has been a smash hit.

Ben Caplan is a musician and co-creator of Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story at Alberta Theatre Projects Feb 5 to16. It is high-energy klezmer musical theatre where musicians play on stage. Based on the playwright Hannah Moscovitch's great-grandparents' true story, the story is about two Jewish Romanians who fall in love, flee their country and make a new life in Canada.Caplan speaks to Artslink on the phone. African Canadian soldiers fought in WWI & WWII. Two researchers from the Military Museums talk about their contributions for an exhibit for Black History Month. It can be seen in the Atrium section of the museum from Feb 3 to Mar 1st. The exhibit has biographical information about the Black Canadian men and women who served in the Canadian military.

We started the show with an interview with the lovely Luciana Silvestre Fernandes who is the Director of The Changeling now on at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. The play discussed has mentions of sexual violence, among other things. It is definitely not suitable for younger audiences. We talked a little more about set design, costume, and overall effect of the play after the interview. Then, listened to a pre-recorded interview with the bassist of Fly Pan Am who are playing live for FRONTERA. After a quick break, we reminded everyone of FUNDRIVE and we finally revealed all the prizes you can receive when donating if you mention our show! To end the show on a high note we reviewed Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story.

Welcome back to the Arts Report. On today's show we talked a little about what the PuSh Festival is and what we will be covering. We then heard an interview with one of the actors of Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story, Ben Caplan. After some ads and PSAs we highlighted the importance of Fundrive and some cool stuff that you can get when you donate certain amounts! We then talked about MOA and its importance, but better yet about their new-ish/current exhibition Playing with Fire: Ceramics of the Extraordinary. Spoiler alert: it is extraordinary! We then did an overview of a few different shows happening this and next week including: BERLIN: The Last Cabaret, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, the Reel Causes presents Dosed at SFU Woodward's, and the super fin SMASH Comedy Festival. We finished the show with a reminder that the 3rd Annual Siloam Theatre Festival has open calls for artists until March.

Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story tells the true story of two Jewish people seeking refuge in Canada in 1908, British comedian Sarah Millican talks about the everyday intimate stuff that many of us avoid with disarming candour, theatre critic Cassie Tongue reviews the epic new Australian play Counting and Cracking, and we hear about the centrepiece of the Midsumma Festival's performing arts program this year — a series of events performed under the banner: BODY.

Canadian singer-songwriter Ben Caplan is on tour in Europe at the moment with his band and new musical Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story, so he dropped by the studio to chat with Robin and Michael Legge, subbing for Josie again whilst she's on maternity leave. They chat of Jewish refugees, squeezing philosophy lines into songs, great music biographies by hard rockers and much more. And Michael does an ad for Mercedes for which we very much didn't get paid for. Extended edition for Patreons as always. Please consider supporting the show at patreon.com/bookshambles so we can keep on making it!

Ben Caplan recently released “Old Stock” a collection of songs that he wrote with fellow collaborators for a musical called “Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story”. As you heard, this baritone voiced artist is a songwriter, performer and wild entertainer. His infectious stage presence and ability to get everyone standing is always something to behold. We caught up with Ben, on the road, to talk about “Old Stock” and literally everything and anything he is up to. For tour dates and much more about Ben Caplan visit bencaplan.ca.

In a life-affirming show woven from the true story of her great-grandparents, Canadian writer Hannah Moscovitch uses klezmer and drama to tell the tale of two refugees arriving in Nova Scotia in 1908, having fled the pogroms in Romania. Here Moscovitch reveals more about Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story, a double award-winning show (on the Edinburgh Fringe 2017) with real contemporary resonance and relevance from Canada’s 2b Theatre Company.
