    Jewtopia comes to Atlanta

    I read on In the Loop that a popular comedy called "Jewtopia" that has been playing off-Broadway for years is coming to Atlanta. Center Theater will put on the play from June 19th to August 10th at the 14th Street Playhouse. Here's the summary from In the Loop.

    " Jewtopia, written by Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson, tells the hysterical story of two thirty-year-old single men looking to meet the perfect Jewish girl. Chris O’Connell, a gentile, wants to marry a Jewish girl so he’ll never have to make another decision again for the rest of his life. Adam Lipschitz, a Jew, wants to marry a Jewish girl to please his family but can’t get a date to save his life. Chris and Adam meet at a singles mixer and decide to form a secret pact. Adam promises to teach Chris how to be a “Jew” if Chris shows Adam how to meet the Jewish girl of his parents’ dreams. Stereotypes collide, cultures clash and chaos ensues.

    Get tickets by calling 404)733-5000 or go to http://www.14thstplayhouse.org/. Tickets run $25- $35 a piece.  For mature audiences 18 and older.

     This show sounds interesting. I'd like to see a comedy. Has anyone been to the 14th Street Playhouse? Has anyone seen this play? What did you think?

    This play is amazing. I saw it on Thursday evening, it was a preview but you would not know it. I laughed my body parts off. The set was beautiful, and the actors did a really great job. I am Jewish, so all of the cultural jokes were dead on, but the best part was you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy them. My friend went with me and she loved it. You should check it out. I am pretty sure the play is showing for a couple of months...
