Beau Jest

BroadHollow Theatre Company presents the comedy, Beau Jest.

Sarah is a nice Jewish girl with a problem: her parents want her married to a nice Jewish boy. They have never met her boyfriend, a WASP named Chris Kringle. When she tells them she is dating a Jewish doctor, they insist on meeting him. When Sarah plans a dinner party and employs an escort service to send her a Jewish date, they send her aspiring actor Bob Schroeder. He is extremely convincing in the role and Sarah’s parents are enraptured. Soon, even Sarah falls for Bob.

“Hilarious and quite moving. Sherman wonderfully blends farce with a genuine insight,” hailed the Chicago Sun-Times.
