When you do a Google search in your brain for “Jewish Theater” and “New York,” you probably get “search results” that include “Fiddler on the Roof,” maybe a Yiddish play or two, a revival of “The Dybbuk.” But you probably didn’t get the words “Kosher Jewish Girls in Krakow.”
\n“Press #93 for Kosher Jewish Girls in Krakow” is opening in October at the Jewish Theater of New York<\/a>, and, according to the Theater’s website, is “a comedy about the Kosher phone industry, the repression of basic human desires, the use of hi-tech to monitor followers around the clock, the invention of new prohibitions on a daily basis and the making-up of historical facts in support of such actions.”
\nPage Six in the New York Post<\/a> adds a note from Theater founder Tuvia Tenenbaum, who says the comedy “takes a hard look at ultra-Orthodoxy in the age of Twitter and iPhone, revealing for the first time how rabbis use high-tech to control followers and rewrite history through a wireless net of ‘Kosher Phones’ that adherents must carry.”
\nThe Theater’s slogan is “Daring to Think Different.” How different? Other shows have included “Mountain Jews” (with a logo spoofing on beverage Mountain Dew).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
