Chutzpah!: The Musical by Rainbow Geffner
June 12, 2014 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15
Original script reading
A San Francisco Premier: A fundraiser against domestic violence
Rainbow Geffner has performed original theatrical works ensembles like A Travelling Jewish Theater, Teatro Kismet O.P.E.R.A, Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre, and Touchstone Theatre. Her writing credits include a solo show called Emily: On Clerical Errors and Destiny and Tales From the Tub which she wrote, directed and produced in 2008.
Her latest work, Chutzpah!, is an irreverent musical comedy about a Jewish girl from Long Island who runs away from home and gets a job at a Manhattan deli. No sooner does she learn the difference between a kishka and a tuches that she discovers the deli is a front for a burlesque club run by Orthodox Jews! Will she make it as a burlesque dancer? Will she make it with the club’s DJ? Will she reconcile with her family? Or will her idea to use her father’s new polysaccharide as a tool for sexual liberation be the answer to a repressed society’s dysfunctionality? A smart and funny look at modern Jewish values and the sexual hypocrisies behind the traditions, come and join us for a preview through an original script reading.
