High Holidays

World Premiere
By Alan Gross
Directed by Steven Robman
This darkly comic, boisterous look at growing up in the Chicago suburbs during the early sixties is the story of 13-year old Billy Roman and the rollicking, anxiety-riddled preparations for his Bar Mitzvah. When Billy's rebellious older brother returns from college during the Jewish high holidays, his family-the little Roman Empire-begins to wobble and crack as it is forced to examine some hard truths about coming of age in America.
The running time for High Holidays is approximately two hours and 30 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission.
