Theatre, Film & Broadcast

Catherine (Liliana Talwatte) is mourning her mathematician father Robert (Francis Gercke) who has recently passed after she took care of him through several years of mental illness.  Her sister Claire (Wendy Maples) comes in from New York for the funeral and wants to bring Catherine back with her.

In all of this you’re probably wondering where my Jewish angle is… well I couldn’t find one. I guess the real answer here is that even though it’s a show that’s about a holiday we Jews don’t celebrate, theater is still fun and a good time can be had by all.  [Sandi Masori]

In this version Jewish playwrights Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen have adapted it with hilarious anachronistic references to San Diego and pop culture.  As soon as the show opens they show us what to expect when they reference the stage ghost light and then say that San Diego has too many ghosts, like those at the Hotel Del, The Whaley House, or the Chargers Fan Club.  [Sandi Masori]
