MAZEL TOV! MAZEL TOV! MAZEL TOV! "THE BOYCHICK AFFAIR - THE BAR MITZVAH OF HARRY BOYCHICK" IS COMING TO NYC'S TIMES SQUARE ARTS CENTER ON JULY 4TH!
Join The Fun, Enjoy The Music and Meet The Family As Grandma Sylvia's Great Grandson, Harry, Becomes A Man!
Harry Boychick - the great grandson of Grandma Sylvia -- remember her funeral? -- is becoming a man and ALMOST everyone is invited to his Bar Mitzvah! Invitations to The Boychick Affair-The Bar Mitzvah of Harry Boychick -- one of the most anticipated Bar Mitzvahs of the 21st century - are going out now! Everyone - including A-Listers -- will be welcome.
Bring a guest (or guests) to join Harry and his family at this ancient Hebrew rite and the family party/squabble that follows. The place is The Times Square Arts Center (www.timessquareartscenter.com), 669 Eighth Avenue, in New York City, and the parties begin on the July 4th weekend. There will be two Bar Mitzvah parties every weekend -- Saturdays at 6:30 PM and Sundays at 3 PM - through September 6, 2009 -- with the possibility of an extension.
Created by Amy Lord, creator of the beloved off-Broadway smash hit Grandma Sylvia's Funeral and former star of the legendary Tony & Tina's Wedding, The Boychick Affair will make its New York debut direct from Los Angeles where it has enjoyed a sold-out engagement for more than two years. It is a hilarious interactive comedy show that gives new meaning to the phrase "dysfunctional family."
At The Boychick Affair, audience members mingle, eat, sing, dance and laugh with the actors, and much like a real Bar Mitzvah, ‘guests' will enjoy a delicious Bar Mitzvah meal - including the famous Dessert Cart - at the ‘reception' portion of the show. From Harry Boychick's unique Bar Mitzvah ceremony to the raucous reception following, the play tells the story of 15 fiffere3nt characters dealing with comedic and contemporary issues in very exciting and humorous ways.
