Miri
A curious, precocious five-year-old with a love of music.
A Story of Kindness
A celebration of shared humanity.
As Hanukkah begins, young Miri and her beloved grandfather, Sabi, set out on what should be an ordinary trip to the mall. But when they’re separated and lost in a snowstorm, three Muslim teenagers offer an unexpected act of kindness that changes everyone.
Inspired by a true story, Cousins is a heartwarming new holiday musical celebrating compassion, family, and the connections that unite us across generations, cultures, and faiths. Filled with warmth, humor, and an unforgettable score, Cousins reminds us that even in our differences, we belong to one another.
