Last week of October, at the synagogue
Bema Productions is delighted to be
offering four performances of The Grandkid by John Lazarus at Congregation
Emanu-El Synagogue, 1461 Blanshard Street, Victoria—directed by Zelda Dean and
starring Michael Armstrong and Amanda Wear
Julius Rothstein and his granddaughter Abby have loved each other from opposite ends of Canada since Abby was born. But now, accepted as a freshman student at the university where Julius teaches, Abby is moving in with him to be close to school and to keep her newly widowed grandfather company. The two must negotiate a new relationship as housemates and friends, which means dealing with issues of youth and age, work and play, activism and apathy, homework and heart attacks, and those three tricky topics: sex, politics and religion.
Tickets $20 each are available from Ivy’s Bookshop, Russell Books,
Synagogue Office and at the door.
