With such compelling evidence, it’s a wonder nothing has been created to satisfy audiences’ craving for an interactive, disco-themed Bar Mitzvah celebration!

Well, wonder no more.

You’re invited to

Benji’s Bar Mitzvah

…an immersive, interactive theater experience in which the audience actively participates as the “invited guests” at an over-the-top, disco-themed reception hosted by Lorraine and Dick Shulman to celebrate their son Benji’s coming of age in the Jewish tradition.

Staged in a hotel ballroom rather than a traditional theater, Benji’s Bar Mitzvah is similar to such long running comedy successes as Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding and Drunk Shakespeare in its hilarious blend of traditional scripted theater and skilled improvisational acting. The party is real, and so is the fun, as the audience immerses itself in the action of the show – interacting with the quirky characters, strutting their stuff to the disco sounds of DJ s’UP and The Matzo Ballers, and engaging with the characters through little pop-up dramas…becoming in effect part of the show itself.

From the award-winning writer of the musical Miracle and the producers of the critically acclaimed musical SpongeBob SquarePants, comes a celebration of family, tradition and individuality that will have you laughing so hard, you’ll want to be a permanent member of this loveable, dysfunctional family.
