Jack Shore, a well-known television personality, is appearing for one night only in a tribute to his grandfather, Jack Shemerinsky, great star of the Yiddish Theater. Backstage in his dressing room, Jack confronts his challenges as an actor and as a husband to his co-starring wife simultaneously, 75 years in the past, Jacob has problems of his own. Actors play their past and present roles in a dizzying display of life in the theater in this time-traveling farce.
Victory Gardens is always a pleasure to work with, and well be doing or best to cover the entire city with posters and handbills advertising this upcoming show. Jacob and Jack was written by James Sherman and directed by Dennis Zacek
Jacob and Jack is at Victory Gardens Biograph Theater May 14th through June 10th. Please visit www.victorygardens.org for more information.
