An Evening with Ari'el Stachel

For two nights, Tony Award-winner Ari’el Stachel will bring a deeply personal, politically urgent and darkly funny performance to Vancouver audiences.

Through humour, vulnerability, and transformative character work, Ari’el explores Jewish identity, mental health, and belonging as an Arab-Jewish artist navigating multiple worlds. Written and performed by Stachel, the show trances his lifelong struggle with OCD, the pressure to assimilate, and his identity fracture that began after 9/11. He also reflects on the complexity of living in the post-October 7th world in a world that increasingly demands division.

This show is a tour-de-force evening of storytelling, where Ari’el draws on the themes and stories that have defined his critically acclaimed theatrical work.
