Long Wharf Theatre begins performances of Bad Jews tonight at Stage II. The comedy tells the story of Daphna, who expects to be given the necklace that her recently deceased grandfather carried with him throughout the Holocaust. But when her cousin Liam and his non-Jewish girlfriend, Melody, appear, she's in for a rude awakening.

Directed by Oliver Butler and written by Joshua Harmon, the show features Keilly McQuail as Daphna Feygenbaum, Michael Steinmetz as Liam Haber, Max Michael Miller as Jonah Haber, and Christy Escobar as Melody.

The creative team includes Stephen Strawbridge (light design), Antje Ellermann (set design), Paul Carey (costume design), M.L. Dogg (sound design), Tim Acito (fight director), and Lindsey Turteltaub (production stage manager).

Performances will run through March 22.
