Returning playwright Jeffy Slaff is next on BPF’s Season 45 performance schedule. His staged reading of Who’s Yehoodi? will be directed by BPF’s own Miriam Bazensky and will take place Saturday, April 18.
In a Lower East Side apartment shared across a century, a contemporary interracial Jewish couple unknowingly coexists with the ghosts of a 1920s immigrant family, as their parallel struggles over identity, love, and belonging collide in a time-bending exploration of what it means to be Jewish in America.
Who’s Yehoodi? is about the two women, Clara from the 1920s and Cleo, a black Jewish modern-day woman figuring out where they belong.
The couples live in the same apartment 100 years apart.
The cast includes:
The performance will be hosted at Club Car Baltimore, 12 West North Avenue, Baltimore 21201 on Saturday, April 18 at 11:30 p.m.. Club Car Baltimore is located at West North Avenue and North Charles Street.
A discussion will follow the reading, and all audience members are invited to participate.
As always, BPF staged reading performances are free and we encourage everyone to attend and bring a friend to view any or all of the twelve staged readings that will take place during the BPF’s Season 45.
The BPF Reading Series is supported by Mayor Brandon Scott and the City of Baltimore, Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, Creative Baltimore Fund.
