Overview
For the duration of its run, the producers of "Not That Jewish" have graciously subsidized the ticket price, which will allow a donation of $25 to cover the cost of an $85 ticket. Any pledge is welcome. Your pledge of $25 or more will allow us to make free tickets available to Jewish Community Centers around the New York area, who've been the target of increased bigotry, antisemitism and threats of violence.

"You don't have to be that Jewish, to love Not That Jewish....I encourage you all to see this show." ~ Msgr. Kieran Harrington, WOR Radio, iHeart Radio

"Endearing, witty and quick. You only stop laughing long enough to cry. Piper turns laughter and tears into a memorable theater experience."  
~ Huffington Post

“A very moving comedy. The poignant themes will resonate with a wide audience of theatergoers. This deeply personal story, simultaneously evokes laughter and tears from the audience. Whether you are 'that Jewish' or not, this energetic one-woman autobiographical show is one that can be enjoyed by all and will likely resonate with audiences of all cultures and religions. We loved it!” ~ Irene S. Levine, More Time Travel blog

LAUGH IN THE FACE OF THE DARK STUFF

Emmy Award-winner, Monica Piper stars in "Not That Jewish," the story of a girl in search of her place in a community that is often to quick to judge. With humor and compassion, Monica goes from "Not That Jewish" to finding her Jewish heart. And what is it to have a Jewish heart? Compassion, Deeds, Humor, and Acceptance. In these trying times, shouldn't everyone be looking to find their Jewish heart?

Reminiscent of Billy Crystal's 700 Sundays with a peppering of Neil Simon's Lost In Yonkers, Not That Jewish is 90 lightning fast minutes of funny, moving, intimate and inspirational theater.

 

The Impact

Your donation will give community centers in the New York metropolitan area an opportunity to offer free tickets to community members who have suffered from these hate crimes, inviting them to laugh, to cry, to heal. Centers will be able to invite members of their community, both Jewish and not, to an evening in the theatre, that both entertains and educates.Centers may also use tickets to enhance awareness, promote tolerance, and support education through the arts.
