Emmy Award winner Judy Gold will join playwright-performer Yisrael Campbell for a talkback following the November 19 performance of his solo play Circumcise Me at Bleecker Street Theater. Gold will sit down with Campbell to talk about a story that changed her life.

This post-performance discussion is the first in the show’s Final Cut conversation series. Future guests will include Father Dave Dwyer (December 2) and Rabbi Charles Klein (December 6). Additional participants will be announced at a later date.

Gold is perhaps best known as the star of her own solo piece, 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother. She appears regularly on Tru TV’s The Smoking Gun and has performed on and co-hosted ABC’s The View.

Directed by Sam Gold, Circumcise Me charts Campbell’s journey through his struggles with drugs and alcohol and his eventual salvation in the Jewish faith. Campbell’s other theater credits include Bed Set, Einstein Was Right and It’s Not In Heaven.
