Jewish for Dinner - a Save-the-Main-Stage Benefit Event

A First-Look Staged Reading of Lou Borenstein's play, based on his multi-award-winning short film, "Jewish for Lunch."

Ruth Cohen finally finds the perfect Jewish man to love, marry, and above all else, bring home to her family. But once they're in love and engaged, she finds out the shocking truth: she only thought he was Jewish. Knowing her family won’t approve of an intermarriage, she makes him pretend he is. But his minimal knowledge of Jewish culture and traditions puts the charade on thin ice. Featuring Kate Huffman, Ryle Decocq, Joey Jupiter-Levin, Gregory Cohen, Ben Horowitz, Amanda dolan, Eric Schiffer, Danielle Tjoelker. Written & directed by Lou Borenstein.

This staged reading is based on the short film “Jewish for Lunch,” with the same cast. It won Best Comedy at the Melbourne Independent Filmmakers Festival, Best Comedy and Best Actor (Rylie Decocq) at the Mentone Film Festival, and Best Jewish Short Film at the Anatolian Film Festival in Turkey. Written & directed by Lou Borenstein.

A water damage disaster has decimated our beautiful Main Stage - carpets, seats, walls, equipment, ceiling  - all destroyed! Fortunately, the structural “bones” of the theatre are intact. But the space needs a total rebuild! Wonderful celebrities like Lou Borenstein and his terrific cast are contributing their artistry for benefit performances. But we need your help now!

Your ticket to tonight's show will help to....And if you can donate a little bit extra, we certainly won't say no.

Thank you so much for your support.
