Description: What’s so funny about two American minorities that have slavery, the KKK and
chicken livers in common? That’s what you’ll find out in this extraordinary
two-actor play on the history and absurdity of prejudice and racism within
the context of the American Black-Jew experience.
In The Black Jew Dialogues, Larry Jay Tish and Ron Jones take the audience
on a hysterical and poignant ride through three days spent together in a
cheap hotel room discussing their own experiences, the history of their
people, and why there has been a growing riff between the African-Americans
and the Jewish people since the early 70s. Their dialogue begins in the
Egypt of the Pharaohs and travels through Africa and colonial times to
present-day America.
