As Spamalot put it, “You just won’t succeed on Broadway if you don’t have any Jews.” How did people whose religion had long forbidden performance become a dominant force in the American theater? John Kenrick takes us on a joyous and insightful trip back in time, tracing how Jews took their place among Broadway’s leading producers, creators and performers. Sponsored by The Grotta Fund for Senior Care of the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater MetroWest NJ.
