2011-2012 Season

DECEIVED

By Motti Lerner (Member, AJT)

November 9-20, 2011

From the pen of HARD LOVE’s playwright Motti Lerner, comes a powerful drama taking a bold look at the role of one man in the cruel game of state-powers. When an American Jew is caught transferring valuable information to Israel, issues of political corruption, love and the respective governments’ own interests come to the fore.

A TINY PIECE OF LAND

By Joni Browne-Walders and Mel Weiser (Members, AJT)

Jan. 4-19, 2012

After the untimely death of his wife, American dentist Barry impulsively makes his first trip to Israel to visit his long-estranged younger brother Yosi who had made his home there for years.  Happiness at the reunion is immediately challenged by clashes in politics. Yosi’s daughter, Rachel, joins the fray, and terrorist attacks add to the emotional drama of this play.

CAN I REALLY DATE A GUY WHO WEARS A YARMULKE?

By Amy Holson-Schwartz

Feb. 29 – March 11, 2012

Eleanor is a smart, savvy PHD candidate. Just back from a disastrous Birth Right trip and a broken relationship, she is thrust into a new relationship with Aaron. He’s a doctor, he’s got the brains, the looks, the wit… But wait! He’s also got a serious case of Zionism and affinity to religion. Can Eleanor, whose secular brand of Judaism might include the occasional latke but definitely does not include God, see past his yarmulke to find her true love? CAN I REALLY DATE A GUY WHO WEARS A YARMULKE? is a love story. It’s a story of identity. It’s about who you are and who you can be.
