WORLD PREMIERE!
Ruth Cohen finally finds the perfect man to love, marry, and above all else, bring home to her Conservative family. But she neglected to ask one, small question: Is he Jewish? Or, can he at least fake it?
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 by Lou Borenstein & Directed by Jeff Jackson.
"As funny as the show is, there are some weightier questions that Borenstein explores, such as the nature and importance of religious identity, its centrality to a person's life and its relevance to matters of the heart." - Stage Raw
