Josh Kornbluth will perform his solo show Andy Warhol: Good for the Jews? at the Jewish Theatre San Francisco, April 8 – May 16. David Dower has directed the piece.

Kornbluth has based his show on an exhibit at the Contemporary Jewish Museum’s exhibition in 2009 and in it, he offers a humorous and penetrating take on the ten cultural luminaries who were depicted in Warhol’s 1980 series, Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century, including Albert Einstein, George Gershwin, Golda Meir, the Marx Brothers, and Gertrude Stein.

Kornbluth’s previous monologues include Red Diaper Baby, Love & Taxes, Ben Franklin: Unplugged, and Citizen Josh. From 2006 to 2008 he hosted the weekly KQED-TV program The Josh Kornbluth Show.
