Some Boys Kiss Me, Some Boys Hug Me, I Think They're Okay...
Woah, the JCC bought this ad in the Village Voice this week!:

I should probably clarify that tickets are $10, not $20. Also, that's an old synopsis (there are no longer peasant girls (only communists from the 1920s)), and it's a reading, not a staged play. Other than that, wow, a fancy ad!!!
I'm pasting the real, up-to-date info below. We've added so many amazing performers to the cast! I laughed so hard at the table reading, I almost barfed on our director. Since then, we've roped in Micah Bucey of The Gay Agenda! I enjoy him so much! He will be playing Ian Fleishman, the character I played in "You Will Experience Silence." (Did I mention this is a sequel?)
Anyway! Please come! It's gonna be ridiculous!

The time is 1921. The place is the Bronx. The Fenster family is contemplating a return to Russia, years after escaping the Tsar.
