Jewtopia

Jewtopia

"Jewtopia" is a comedic play by Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson.

It focuses on two friends, Chris O'Connell and Adam Lipschitz. Gentile Chris is interested in dating Jewish women because he feels that they will make his life easier by making all of life's decisions for him. Jewish Adam wants to date Gentile women because he does not wish to be reminded of his roots. The two team up and teach each other how to woo the women of their choice.

Most of the play's humor involves jokes about Jewish stereotypes with occasional humor about body parts and bodily functions. The play makes numerous references to the Jewish online dating website, JDate.

Directed by Andy Fickman, the LA production opened on May 8, 2003 at West Hollywood's Coast Playhouse, where it ran for a year. Fogel and Wolfson headed the cast.

On October 21, 2004, the off-Broadway production, directed by John Tillinger and again starring the playwrights, opened at Manhattan's Westside Theatre. It ran for two and a half years and closed on April 29th, 2007, with actors Josh Heine and Jeremy Rishe playing the roles of Chris O'Connel and Adam Lipschitz.

In 2006, Fogel and Wolfson published "Jewtopia: The Chosen Book for the Chosen People", a coffee table book inspired by the play.

A winter 2009 tour is planned. [http://jewtopiaworld.com//ticketing.html]
