Jewish Repertory Theatre Season Opening
Jewish Repertory Theatre opens its season with
OH MY GOD!, by Anat Gov
October 24 – November 17, 2019, at the Maxine and Robert Seller Theatre, Jewish Community Center, 2640 North Forest Rd., Amherst, NY.
Directed by Saul Elkin and stars Todd Benzin, Max Goldhirsch and Lisa Ludwig
God walks into a therapists’ office…..
When a conflicted and depressed God seeks out an earthly therapist to aid him with his wrenching doubts, it is not always clear who is providing the therapy to whom. Ella, a single mother living with her autistic son is a therapist with issues of her own, but has only one session to convince God not to give up on his creation. How do you help a “being” with no parents to blame?
OH MY GOD! is directed by Saul Elkin and stars Todd Benzin, Max Goldhirsch and Lisa Ludwig
