1st Stage presents Paula Vogel’s INDECENT; A True Story Of A Little Yiddish Play

By Sponsor

Published June 2, 2026 at 10:45AM

Indecent
Written by Paula Vogel
Directed by 1st Stage Artistic Director Alex Levy
June 4 – 21, 2026 (Opening This Week!)

From Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, a deeply moving play inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s “God of Vengeance”—a play seen by some as a seminal work of Jewish culture, and by others as an act of traitorous libel. Indecent charts the history of an incendiary drama and the path of the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it. “…we are indebted to Vogel…for reminding us of a brave play that fearlessly told the world there’s nothing indecent about love.” — TheaterMania

Share your vision: help shape Herndon’s future through Herndon 2050

Published May 15, 2026 at 10:45AM

Herndon 2050 will help shape the policies, priorities, and decisions that guide the Town over the next 20 years. Share your vision for the future at Herndon2050.org.

What will Herndon look and feel like in 2050?

That’s the big question behind Herndon 2050 — the Town of Herndon’s Comprehensive Plan update that will help shape policies, priorities, and decision-making for the next 20 years.

This is more than a planning document. It’s a vision for tomorrow.

Right now, the Town is asking residents, business owners, community stakeholders, and visitors to participate in an important first step: the Herndon 2050 community survey. While there will be additional opportunities for engagement throughout the planning process, this initial survey is critical in helping establish the community’s priorities and overall vision for the future of Herndon.

The survey closes Monday, May 18 at 11:59:59 PM.

Share your vision! Herndon2050.org

Planning for the Next Generation of Herndon

The Comprehensive Plan serves as the Town’s long-range policy guide and influences how Herndon grows, develops, and invests in the future over time. The decisions made through this process will help shape the community for current residents and future generations alike.

The new plan will establish policies and recommendations covering a wide range of topics, including:

Land use and development
Parks and recreation
Transportation and mobility
Environmental sustainability
Economic development
Historic and cultural resources
Stormwater management
Public spaces and urban design
Architecture and open space
Housing
Connectivity and infrastructure

In short, Herndon 2050 will help guide how the Town evolves — from neighborhoods and business districts to trails, parks, transportation systems, gathering spaces, and redevelopment opportunities.

A Community-Driven Vision

At the heart of Herndon 2050 is community input.

The Town wants to hear directly from the people who live, work, and spend time in Herndon. What should the community prioritize? What should be preserved? Where are there opportunities for improvement? What kind of experience should Herndon provide 20 years from now? (more…)
