This show is just as unexpected as its title in the best way. I wasn’t sure what I was walking into, but it turned out to be funny, creative, and full of surprises. The background animations added a dynamic layer that really brought the small black box stage to life. Each actor brought something totally unique to their role, and the direction kept things moving with great energy and clever choices. Whether you’re Jewish or not, you’ll laugh and have a great time. ... full review

Just a super fun time at the theater! A well plotted, cleverly directed, ridiculous romp with incredible performances. Shout out to the one gangster with the shotgun! He had me rolling and I'm still laughing days later! ... full review

In what feels like an unproduced Woody Allen comedy, The "Jewish Priest, The Gangster, & the Magician" is a zany romp set in the late 1930s. Written by Ron Yavnieli and directed by Steven Brandon, the show focuses on a well-meaning Jewish gangster who wants to help his childhood buddy hook up with the woman of his dreams - only to fall in love with her himself. Along the way we cross paths with some American Nazis, an unforgiving Rabbi trying to find a husband for his daughter, and a nasty magician/escape artist called Haversham The Great whose life may be in jeopardy. Filled with laughs, slapstick, and some strong performances, you don't have to be Jewish to love this show - but if you are, you’ll chuckle just a little louder during this up... full review
