BAD JEWS Director, Star to Appear on Today's ARTS IN REVIEW on KPFK
Today, June 12, Arts in Review welcomes Black Dahlia Theatre co-founder/director Matt Shakman and actress Molly Ephraim, discussing the off-Broadway hit comedy, Bad Jews, opening June 17 at Geffen Playhouse in Westwood.
Ari Brand (Broadway The Neil Simon Plays; Off-Broadway My Name is Asher Lev), Molly Ephraim (ABC's Last Man Standing, Broadway Into the Woods, Fiddler on the Roof; film Paranormal Activity), Lili Fuller (Hulu's Complete Works) and Raviv Ullman (Off-Broadway Sticks and Bones, title character in Disney's Phil of the Future) star in the Geffen's West Coast premiere production of Bad Jews by Joshua Harmon. Bad Jews runs now through July 19, 2015 (opening night is June 17, 2015) in the Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse.
In Bad Jews, Daphna Feygenbaum swears she is the most devout Jew in her family. When her less observant cousin arrives to claim a treasured family heirloom and religious symbol from their late Grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, a devastating and devastatingly funny battle of Old Testament proportions ignites.On the production team are John Arnone (scenic design), E.B. Brooks (costume design), Elizabeth Harper (lighting design), Jonathan Snipes (sound design), production stage manager Elizabeth A. Brohm and assistant stage manager Amy Ramsdell.
