FRIENDS, We all have fantasies about taking the gloves off and telling someone else exactly how we feel about them. In two seething rant-arias, and throughout the play in ways large and small, the antagonists in Bad Jews get to do that. It’s ugly, unvarnished, and hilarious. “I think we often laugh when we recognize something is true,” says playwright Joshua Harmon. Among the truths on offer here: we perform versions of ourselves. Those we’ve grown up around can spot those performances most clearly. Family can bring out our truest selves. And Jewish identity in the modern world is a tricky thing. Because the play lies right on faultlines in American Judaism and exploits them to full comic effect, Bad Jews is a rare combination: a wicked comic romp and a conversation starter. Apparently it’s a winning formula — Bad Jews, Harmon’s breakout drama, was one of the three most produced plays in America last year, and its original run here at Studio broke our box office records. We’re happy to bring it back — just in time for the holidays! The production is shepherded by a director who knows how to take the play seriously but not too seriously, and a company of actors, many of whom make their Studio debuts, who aren’t afraid to be ugly and unliked in the service of truth. Truth is the funniest thing around. So settle into this cramped studio apartment on the Upper West Side, and get ready for a wild ride. YOURS,
DAVID MUSE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

NOTE A NOTE FROM THE DRAMATURG, ADRIEN-ALICE HANSEL Joshua Harmon’s Bad Jews is a play of opposing viewpoints, of deeply felt convictions. And a play of loud — and long — argument. This savage comedy unfolds the night after their grandfather’s funeral, as three cousins fight it out over an heirloom — a necklace of a chai, the Hebrew word and symbol for life. Harmon has created a battle of ideas and birthright, with both invective and real insight on the many things a single object can come to mean to different people. But while the stakes are real — they couldn’t be higher — Harmon’s mode is comic. Battle-to-the-end, say-what-ittakes, no-blow-too-low comic as the unstoppable force of Super Jew Daphna careens into the immovable object of Studiedly Secular Liam, insults and indomitable hair flying. So who deserves the necklace? Does it go to the True Believer as a symbol of maintaining history and honoring perseverance? Or does it go to the selfdeclared Bad Jew, who sees it as a symbol of the new beginnings, for his grandfather and himself? Or will honoring Poppy need to take a new form? There’s only one necklace and a single winner as these cousins (and a surprise guest) go for the heart and soul of their grandfather’s legacy in this all-out verbal brawl — heartfelt and over-the-top, ridiculous in its extremity but grounded in the deepest beliefs of these very different twentysomethings, each struggling to reflect and magnify the best of what they learned from one remarkable survivor.

Joshua Harmon knew he had a good title when it came to him. Provocative, certainly — the London Underground banned posters for the play’s West End run on the grounds they may cause “widespread or serious offense” — but descriptive and suggestive. It came to him on the heels of a “depressingly unmoving” Yom Hashoah service in honor of Holocaust Memorial Day. It was Harmon’s sophomore year of college, and listening to his fellow Millennials mispronounce names of Holocaust survivors and strain for emotion left him feeling awkward but intrigued. “The service was strange and sterile, laden with clichés but lacking in genuine feeling.” Shortly thereafter, the title Bad Jews came to his head. “After the play opened, my grandmother asked me if I would change the title to Good Jews,” Harmon recalls. “I know the title makes people uncomfortable, but I didn’t invent the phrase. It refers to a particular generation and their take on their heritage.”
The three cousins of Harmon’s play are all in their twenties, and their extravagant arguments about the ways and whys (and, critically, whether) of contemporary Judaism echoes one of the great questions of Jewish-American identity: To what extent is Judaism a cultural identifier and to what extent is it a religious one? How do you balance assimilation and authenticity? The question is even more distinct among Millennial Jews (those born after 1980), who are more likely than any other generation to identify themselves as Jewish, but having “no religion.” 22% of all American Jews describe themselves as outside the faith, but 32% of Millennial Jews do. But it’s complicated: A 2011 survey from the Pew Foundation found that 83% “Jews of no religion” consider themselves “proud to be Jewish”, but only 42% describe themselves as having a sense of belonging to the Jewish people and 67% are not raising their children Jewish in any way. And the question of “being Jewish” is contested among American Jewry writ large: 73% of US Jews say that remembering the Holocaust is essential to being Jewish, 56% say that working for justice and equality is essential, and — luckily for Harmon and his cheekily titled play —42% say that having a good sense of humor is essential to being a Jew, good or bad.

Actors’ Equity Association (AEA) was founded in 1913 as the first of the American actor unions. Equity’s mission is to advance, promote and foster the art of live theatre as an essential component of our society. Today, Equity represents more than 40,000 actors, singers, dancers, and stage managers working in hundreds of theatres across the United States. Equity members are dedicated to working in the theatre as a profession, upholding the highest artistic standards. Equity negotiates wages and working conditions and provides a wide range of benefits including health and pension plans for its members. Through its agreement with Equity, this theatre has committed to the fair treatment of the actors and stage managers employed in this production. AEA is a member of the AFL-CIO and is affiliated with FIA, an international organization of performing arts unions. For more information, visit www.actorsequity.org.

Devoted to artistic excellence, Studio Theatre strives to present audiences with extraordinary writing, sophisticated design, and stunning performance. Our commitment to connecting actors and audience is built into our architecture, where none of our four performance spaces seats more than 225 patrons.
