Can I Really Date A Guy Who Wears A Yarmulke? Closes at Knitting Factory 11/29

Famed music venue The Knitting Factory will play host to Can I Really Date A Guy Who Wears A Yarmulke? for five performances, Monday nights in November. Performances of the charming new romantic comedy end on November 29th.

In Can I Really Date A Guy Who Wears A Yarmulke? Eleanor, a young woman whose Jewish experience is limited to the Woody Allen canon and matzo ball soup, but definitely does not include God, falls hard for Aaron, who might be the perfect guy for her. Except he's really Jewish.

Playwright Amy Holson-Schwartz was inspired to write Can I Really Date A Guy Who Wears A Yarmulke? after returning from a Birthright trip with more questions than answers about her own relationship to Judaism and Israel. "I worked through my issues dramatically. Thank goodness I've got a sense of humor!"

Can I Really Date A Guy Who Wears A Yarmulke? made its world premiere at the 2010 Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival, selling out the run and receiving The Producers' Award. The play stars Catherine Le Frere, Jason Liebman, Jessica Smolins, Ryan Wood, Bonnie Corso, and David Licht. It was developed as part of the 2009 TRU Voices Play Reading Series and the Festival Arts Dinner Table Reading Series. Can I Really Date A Guy Who Wears A Yarmulke? is produced by Marc L. Bailin, a seasoned movie producer, entertainment attorney, and entrepreneur, and Holson Productions, producers of the long running The News in Revue (5 Emmy Awards), the critically acclaimed Bush Wars, and Parenting 101.
