Weaving together Jewish folk songs, original music, and storytelling, award-winning playwright and singer-songwriter Sarah Segal-Lazar presents a deeply personal exploration of Jewish identity. In 2018, she travelled to her mother’s homeland of Poland tracing her family’s history. That journey sparked the creation of this new one-woman show, blending theatre and music to tell both her own story and the story of generations past.

Sarah Segal-Lazar is an acclaimed Canadian artist whose work bridges music and theatre. Singing in five languages, she blends contemporary folk with echoes of Hebrew, Yiddish, and her Montreal roots. A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, she has written, directed and performed across Canada and the U.S. Her latest album ‘Valleys’ received international airplay and a nomination for Folk Canada’s 2024 Recording Artist of the Year. Her work—on stage, on screen and in song—celebrates story, identity and the power of performance.

Sarah recently discovered that her grandmother’s uncle emigrated from Poland to Australia in the late 1940s, where he opened a lingerie factory — making this premiere feel like an unexpected homecoming.
