LA JOLLA, California (Press Release) — The San Diego Center for Jewish Culture presents Jewish Jokes, starring Phil Johnson, written by Phil Johnson and Marni Freedman, and directed by David Ellenstein. The performance of this one-man show will be Monday, October 19, 2015, at 7:30 pm.
In 1950’s Hollywood, at the height of the Communist Blacklist, when careers were ruined by a whisper, we meet irascible comedy screenwriter Bernie Lutz. Bernie, while funny & lovable, has made his way up the ladder by being a spineless Hollywood sellout. He has been asked to name names and give up his friend the night before a big red carpet premiere that will make Bernie’s career. He has one day to decide if he will name names and save his skin, or protect his friend and save his soul in the most serious decision of his life.
Tickets are $20 for JCC members and $25 for non-member adults. The performance will take place at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center at 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla. Box office: (858) 362-1348 or tickets.lfjcc.org
