Apologies in advance for showing this sort of favoritism.
But I feel I have to.
Sunday afternoon at the Owings Mills JCC, some very talented, hard-working women, including several Shomer Shabbat, put on a show called “Five Acts of Kindness.” These women all spent hours of their own time into providing a first-class theatrical presentation.
Biased? Yes, I am. My wife, Lisa Jacobs, was one of those women.
Unfortunately only 13 people came to the JCC’s performa theater to see this production.
Almost all of them were connected in some way to the actors on the stage.
Thirteen is a tremendous letdown.
There was no Ravens game. It was still too cold to spend time in the garden. What better way to support Jewish theater in this town by then supporting the Jewish Theater Workshop.
I urge you to come out 7 p.m. Tuesday to see the second and final running of this show.
It was not just well acted and directed, but it gave over stories of something many of us seem to have forgotten, how to do the small things in life it takes to make someone else’s life just a little better.
The show costs $10. We’d like to see you there. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
And maybe you’ll want to join and contribute as an actor or writer technical person yourself.
Or if you can’t do that, do what I do, be part of the audience.
