“Jewtopia,” written by Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson is a comedy where stereotypes collide, cultures clash and chaos ensues. Oh, and it’s back at the Repertory East Playhouse. The production, co-sponsored by Friedman, Thompson and Co. and Wild Flour Gourmet Baking is the longest running comedy ever to come out of Los Angeles.

“Jewtopia” tells the story of two 30 year old single men, Chris O’Connell and Adam Lipschitz. Chris, a gentile, wants to marry a Jewish girl so he’ll never have to make another decision. Adam Lipschitz, a Jew, wants to marry a Jewish girl to please his family, but can’t get a date to save his life. After meeting at a Jewish singles mixer, Adam and Chris form a secret pact. Chris promises that he will help Adam find the Jewish girl of his dreams and show him “Jewtopia” – but only if Adam will help Chris shed his gentile-ness and bring him undercover into the Jewish world.
