CIRCUMCISE ME Extends At The Bleecker Street Theatre, New Block of Tix On Sale Thru 2/28/2010

Due to overwhelming audience response, Circumcise Me, written by and starring Yisrael Campbell has been EXTENDED. The hit off-Broadway comedy is now selling tickets through February 28, 2009 at The Bleecker Street Theatre (45 Bleecker Street just East of Lafayette).

"I am having the time of my life performing at The Bleecker Street Theatre and I can't thank audiences enough who have enjoyed the show and told their friends," said Yisrael Campbell. "I can only hope that these people make more friends, so we can keep extending. Might I suggest some Latke recipes?"

"We are so thrilled that audiences have embraced the hilarity and humanity in Yisrael's show. We are humbled that Circumcise Me has touched so many people, and glad that we can reach an even larger audience with the extension," said producer Eva Price.

Circumcise Me tells the true story of Yisrael Campbell, your average Irish, Italian, Catholic kid from Philly, who became a sober alcoholic, recovering drug addict, husband, father, reform, conservative, unorthodox, orthodox, Jewish comic actor. In his New York theatrical debut, Yisrael (born Christopher) takes the audience on an extraordinary spiritual, creative, and hysterically funny journey including, ouch, three circumcisions along the way.

Circumcise Me is the rare collision of comedy and theatre that will have women howling with laughter and men squirming in their seats. The film "Circumcise Me," a documentary on Yisrael's life, is currently playing in film festivals around the country.

The fun also continues with the talkback series "FINAL CUT" taking place after select performances of the show. Guests sit down with Yisrael Campbell to tell a story that has changed their life...their "AH HA!" moment. Scheduled guests have included Judy Gold, Father Dave Dwyer, and Rabbi Charles Klein.

Tickets for Circumcise Me range from $25.00 - $65.00 with premium seating available. Circumcise Me plays Wednesday at 3pm, Thursday at 8pm, Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 4pm and 7pm. Tickets can be purchased by visiting Telecharge at www.telecharge.com or calling (212) 239-6200. For more information, please visit: www.yisraelcampbell.com
