Jackie Hoffman Set for May 16 Storah-13 Gala

Broadway veteran Jackie Hoffman will perform in Storah-13, a B Mitzvah gala presented by Storahtelling at the City Winery on Monday, May 16 beginning at 6:30pm.

The evening will serve as a belated Bat Mitzvah for Hoffman, and feature the comic actress bringing a surprising twist to 5,000 years of sacred ritual and Jewish storytelling by chanting and reinterpreting the Bat Mitzvah portion she never got to read as an Orthodox Bat Mitzvah girl.

The Storah-13 gala will honor Marina Pinto Kaufman, Founding Chair, Storahtelling Board of Directors. It will also feature a silent auction, an interactive art project in which all guests will create a collage version of a Torah Scroll, a live band, gourmet cuisine, and an exclusive backstage tour of the winery.

Hoffman is currently appearing as Grandma in Broadway’s The Addams Family and presenting her solo show Jackie Five-Oh! at Joe’s Pub. Among her other credits are the Broadway productions of Xanadu and Hairspray.
