The G-D of Isaac October 17, 2010

Isaac Adams, playwright and actor, is performing in his own play about his search for what it means to be a Jew. He has married a beautiful non-Jewish model, giving up his "soul mate" to a young, observant man, and now he wants to understand his Jewish self, if there is one. This hilarious, yet affecting and poignant evening, touches everyone who experiences it. 'The G-d of Isaac' focuses on what our religious and cultural affiliations mean to us, causing us to define what many often shrug off as undefinable. Sherman's script toes the fine line between sweet humor and a serious discussion of religious and cultural identity, never letting the comedy impinge on the magnitude and importance this search has for Isaac. His style has an often self-deprecating humor, which makes the experience amazingly enjoyable -- much more than a spoonful of sugar, if you will.
