Saturday, October 19 (7:30 p.m.) & Sunday, October 20 (1:30 p.m.)
Being Somebody — Growing up Brooklyn, a Father/Daughter Tale
A funny, hope-filled show starring Dr. Howard Mase, an extraordinary 88-year-old psychologist, and his singer/playwright/actor daughter Marla. Through masterful storytelling, song and dance, they take us back in time to Howard growing up in Brooklyn’s post-war gleam of the 1940s, and Marla navigating the gritty disco era of the 1970s. This musical memoir touches on universal themes and invites us to reconnect with important moments in our lives.

Visiting Mr. Green
by Jeff Baron*
In this post-pandemic rewrite of a beloved play, elderly Mr. Green is almost hit by a car driven by 29-year-old Ross Gardiner. Gardiner is sentenced to community service; he must help the lonely widower once a week for six months. This 21st century “odd couple” will take audiences on a roller coaster of humor, heartbreak and healing.

The Catskills — The Rise and Fall of the Borscht Belt
Documentary film and discussion – Ticket price $15.00
Winner of the 2024 Miami Jewish Film Festival, this is a humorous and nostalgic tribute to the “Borscht Belt” from its beginning as a refuge for working-class Jews, to becoming a lavish summer playground for the affluent, to its eventual decline. The Catskills chronicles the cultural, historical and economic influences that created the Borscht Belt, provided a training ground for the great comedians of the 20th century, and became the inspiration for iconic films like Dirty Dancing.

Lost in Yonkers
by Neil Simon*

Bad Jews
by Joshua Harmon*
After their beloved grandfather dies leaving a treasured piece of religious jewelry, his grandchildren fight over the precious heirloom. In one corner is Daphna, a “real Jew,” who is volatile, self-assured and unbending. In the other is her equally stubborn cousin, the secular Liam, who wants it for his shiksa girlfriend. Stuck in the middle is Liam’s brother, the gentle Josh, who tries to stay out of the fray. Along the way they battle about their religious faith, cultural assimilation, and the validity of their Jewish identity.
