Andy and the Shadows

Andy and the Shadows

Theater J
1529 Sixteenth Street, NW Washington

Award-winning playwright and Theater J artistic director Ari Roth brings a uniquely Jewish family comedy to the Goldman Theater. The son of two Holocaust survivors, the engaged Andy Glickstein feels he doesn't deserve to get married since he hasn't suffered enough in his life. Andy's incessant search for his duende -- the Spanish expression of soulfulness and tragic ecstasy -- compels him to film a movie detailing his mother's experiences and his father's Zionist heroism, but to no avail. Winner of the Streisand Award for Playwriting, Andy and the Shadows is a compelling original comedy by the author of Born Guilty and Love and Yearning in the Not-for-Profits.
