Alex Edelman: Just For Us at Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA

JUST FOR US takes the audience through hilarious anecdotes from Alex Edelman’s life — his Olympian brother AJ, an unconventional holiday season, and a gorilla that can do sign language — but at its center is an astonishing and frighteningly relevant story. After a string of anti-Semitic abuse is directed at Edelman online, he decides to covertly attend a gathering of White Nationalists in New York City and comes face-to-face with the people behind the keyboards. The result is a hair-raising encounter that gives JUST FOR US its title and final, jaw-dropping moments.

Directed by Adam Brace, JUST FOR US will run for two weeks only from April 11-23 at the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA in Boston’s South End (located at 527 Tremont Street) for a total of 14 performances. The show runs 85 minutes without an intermission. Performance times are Tuesday-Thursday at 7:30pm; Friday at 8pm; Saturday at 4pm and 8pm; and Sunday at 3pm.
