The Black-Jew Dialogues: A Multicultural Comedy

An interactive, satirical comedy about prejudice

Wednesday, March 1, 2017 · 7 - 9 PM
The Commons : Skylight Room
“Brave theatre that opens people up to the possibility of change.”
John H. Houchin, Boston College, Chair, Theatre Department

This extraordinary two-actor play explores the absurdity of prejudice and racism and the power of diversity. The program combines fast-paced sketches, improvisations, multi-media, puppets, a game show, and a post show discussion. This mixture of media, theater, and dialogue creates a show that has gained praise from universities, high schools, synagogues, and theatres across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

Within the context of two students working on a class project about cross-cultural dialogue, the performers take the audience on a hysterical and poignant ride. The characters themselves, a traditional student and adult student, represent a sample of the types of diversity present today. The resulting discussion challenges both baby boomers and millennials to critically examine the world around them in order to understand the true nature of diversity and how it has evolved in the 21st Century.
