Sarah is a nice Jewish girl with a problem: her parents want her married to a nice Jewish boy. They have never met her boyfriend, a WASP executive named Chris Kringle. She tells them she is dating a Jewish doctor and they insist on meeting him. She plans a dinner party and, over the heated protests of Chris, employs an escort service to send her a Jewish date to be Dr. Steinberg. Instead, they send Bob Schroeder, an aspiring actor who agrees to perform the impersonation. Happily, he is extremely convincing in the role and Sarah’s parents are enraptured.

CFF16: WE DID IT, GIRL!

CFF_We Did It Girl logoWE DID IT, GIRL!
Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’16

Art Academy Studio
Over-the-Rhine

Written by Kevin Crowley
Featuring Kevin Crowley & Torie Wiggins

Our goal with We Did It, Girl! is the eradication of racism in America by the end of our run. Anything else is a waste of time. You might also laugh, cry, sing along and find yourself utterly horrified by the end and that’s ok too. But we’ve got no more time for broad assumptions and lazy generalizations about people who are different and so we are putting a stop it here and now. Enjoy. 45 minutes.

  • Fri, June 3 at 7:45pm
  • Sat, June 4 at 1:30pm
  • Mon, June 6 at 9:15pm
  • Wed, June 8 at 6:30pm
  • Thu, June 9 at 8:30pm
