The Rabbi & The Shiksa

by Art Shulman

Genre: Dramedy
Runtime: 100 mins
Cast: 2 females, 3 males

Synopsis: The rabbi begins an affair with a non-Jewish woman selling carpet to the temple. The rabbi is already having trouble dealing with conservative members of the temple, who'd like to see him removed. His job is threatened when the romance gets into the open, and his secretary, who has silently harbored her feelings for the rabbi, turns against him.

Notes: Performed at the Lonny Chapman Group Repertory Theatre, and later at the Secret Rose Theatre, both in North Hollywood, California, and also at the Hollywood Boulevard Theatre in Hollywood, Florida. In all cases the play was the most profitable play per performance in the history of that theater at that time.
