Main Street Players presents Bad Jews, by Joshua Harmon. This dark comedy chronicles the relationships between three cousins who are brought together following the death of their grandfather, a Holocaust survivor. Conflict ensues as the trio fight over a “chai” that belonged to their grandfather. As Daphna and Liam battle over who is more deserving of the memento, Liam’s girlfriend Melody and brother Jonah try to stay clear of the fighting. This is a very funny play despite the serious overtones of death, identity, and religion.
The show is directed by MSP Artistic Director Robert Coppel with Clara Lyzniak as the production manager. The cast is as follows: Daphna Feygenbaum: Hannah Benitez, Liam Haber: Joseph Paul Pino, Jonah Haber: Matthew Ferro, and Melody: Kimmi Johnson.
Bad Jews runs July 21st – August 13th, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm. Tickets are $30 for adults, and $25 for students, seniors, and military personnel. Theatre League members $20 with I.D at the door only. Tickets may be purchased in advance at www.mainstreetplayers.com, or at the box office 60 minutes prior to showtime.
