Julia May Jonas' Your Own PersonalExegesis has shared a look inside its opening night with photos and video. The world premiere opened at Lincoln Center Theater/LCT3's Claire Tow Theater December 5 for a limited engagement through December 31.
Hannah Cabell, Cole Doman, Annie Fang, Savidu Geevaratne, and Mia Pak star in the memory play, which centers on a youth pastor and a group of teens in a liberal parish. The coming-of-age tale explores themes of eroticism and religious ecstasy under the direction of Annie Tippe (Octet).

The play by Emil Weinstein is based on the memoir by Abby Chava Stein, an openly transgender woman directly descended from Hasidic Judaism's founder, the Baal Shem Tov.
The piece stars Obie Award winner Jodie Markell as propagandist filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, whose work in service of the Nazis defined the visual identity of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich.
