Just wanted to let everyone know about a reading of my new play, The
Disappearance of the Jews, taking place this weekend.

When: Sunday, 2pm
Where: Brown University Hillel, 80 Brown Street, Providence, RI

What:
A senile old man sets out on a quixotic quest to save the Jews by
capturing the neighbor he believes is Adolf Eichmann's widow. A
middle-aged man lusts after a rich, WASP socialite. A 30-something
nudnik gets dumped by his girlfriend after he comes on to her at a
Sabbath ceremony. Faced with all this, can the Jews survive?

The play takes a hard look at the rootlessness and self-loathing at the
heart of American-Jewish identity.

Hope some of you can make it!
