From the streets of Brooklyn and struggle with his family's survivor past, to the laughter and rebirth of a Catskills nightclub - with music, humor and multi-media - Jake Ehrenreich mesmerizingly recreates his unforgettable journey - now made more famous in his critically acclaimed bestselling book by the Chicken Soup for the Soul publishers.

Directed by NY theater veteran Jon Huberth, The LA Times declares "Ehrenreich's insight is engaging, elegant and thoughtful" and Broadway World raves "Run, don't walk. One of the most uplifting evenings one can spend in the theater." The Miami Herald offers "somewhere two loving parents are kvelling over the son who did them proud."
