'Boychick Affair' to premiere at The Hayworth

THE BOYCHECK AFFAIR- THE BAR MITZVAH OF HARRY BOYCHICK a new interactive show from writer/producer Amy Lord, creator of "Grandma Sylvia's Funeral," will have its world premiere at The Hayworth Theater, Jan.27th, it was announced today by The Hayworth Theater Co-Founders Danna Hyams, Producing Director, and Gary Blumsack, Artistic Director.

THE BOYCHECK AFFAIR follows in the tradition of "Grandma Sylvia's Funeral," a hands-on environmental comedy show where audience members will mingle with the actors, affording them the opportunity to experience a nightmarishly hysterical 'dysfunctional family' up close and personal.  From Harry Boychick's Bar Mitzvah ceremony to the rollicking catered reception following, the audience joins in the insanity, the dancing, the fun and a celebratory meal as well.   Veering off the path of chopped liver, matzo ball soup, brisket and pigs in the blanket, "The Boychick Affairs'" Bar Mitzvah luncheon cuisine surprise is all part of this zany, kooky theatrical ride, wrapping around the story of twenty-three different characters dealing with contemporary issues in an outrageously humorous way.

"Grandma Sylvia's Funeral," the hit show co-created and co-produced by Amy Lord, is renowned for being the '5th longest running show off-Broadway and continues to enjoy audiences worldwide.   Amy also originated the role of "Dori Grossman" in her LA production of "Grandma Sylvia's Funeral" as well as the role of "Tina" in the cult comedy hit play "Tony n' Tina's Wedding," another long running interactive show.  "Club Disco" is another of Amy's creations which enjoyed a three year LA run and is soon to mount a production in Las Vegas.  Among Amy's current projects are the musical "Unbroken" and the TV pilot "A Slice of Life.
