The highly acclaimed A JEW GROWS IN BROOKLYN chronicles Jake Ehrenreich’s life and is an engaging, poignant and hilarious comedy musical about the search for identity and meaning. From the streets of Brooklyn to the laughter and rebirth of Catskills summers, to his mother’s and sister’s heartbreaking early Alzheimer’s disease, this tour de force performance is a delightful journey that speaks to anyone hoping to live out the American Dream. The Philadelphia Inquirer calls it “An uplifting treasure with universal appeal - in the same elevated company as Billy Crystal’s 700 Sundays and Chazz Palminteri’s A Bronx Tale.” $30 Members, $35 Public, $40 at the door. Reserved seating.
