“Growing Up Larry – The Wandering Jew,” a new version of my one-man show, was presented by and at the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley, Sedona, Arizona, February 15, 2015.
To create this Jewish version, I inserted stories about experiencing my born-into religion and my life’s three key synagogues (Philadelphia, Tokyo and Sedona), and Jewish culture as expressed by Yiddish and Hebrew words (especially those understood by many gentile Americans, such as chutzpah, mentsh, and yenta).
The show ended with a standing ovation, and me coming off the stage and giving high-10s to the people on the first row. Thank you, my show’s directors, Shondra Jepperson and Dev Ross-Reynolds, for getting me ready to do this show.
