Theatre - A Jew Grows in Brooklyn

Jew Grows in Brooklyn is an innovative and delightful new musical comedy that tells the autobiographical story of Jake Ehrenreich's first generation American journey. Through sometimes poignant, often times hysterical stories about his family, Jake weaves together haimish wisdom and a hip modern sensibility to create an entertaining and touching two hours of comedy and song. From his parents' survival of the Holocaust to his stickball recollections in Brooklyn to his Catskill Mountain memories, Jake uses his unique musical and comedic talent to present a tour de force performance. Through the use of video images, the audience gets to meet some of Jake's family members, such as his Great Aunt Regina (and her penchant for plastic slipcovers) and his father, Jonah (on Baseball: "What kind of a game is this? two people play and eight people watch?!")
