The Gospel According to Jerry April 20, 2011

Jerry Silver is a divorced rabbi in a Yankees ball cap searching to fill a personal void. Nia Thompson is a reserved African American woman desperate to lose weight. Their lives intersect when Nia signs up for an overeaters' anonymous group that Jerry is leading for his master's degree. With just one participant signed up for the group, Jerry must work hard to keep things flowing. A heartwarming relationship unfolds in this funny new play that takes a contemporary look at family, Jewish - African American connections, stereotypes and spirituality. This is a world premiere production by Richard Krevolin and Irwin Kula.
