The Main Street Players presents Bad Jews, the third show of the 2017 season, at the Main Street Playhouse, 6766 Main St. in Miami Lakes (305-558-3737).

Bad Jews is the ferociously funny play with serious overtones written by Joshua Harmon. Poppy Feygenbaum, a Holocaust survivor and patriarch of the family, has passed away and his family has gathered in New York City for his funeral.

The tension of his death is escalated when his grandkids are forced to share a studio apartment, and all hell breaks loose as they start to fight over their Poppy’s Chai, a very special memento with deep meaning for the family.

The show is directed by Main Street Players artistic director Robert Coppel, with Clara Lyzniak as the production manager.

The characters (actors) are as follows: Daphna Feygenbaum (Hannah Benitez), Liam Haber (Joseph Paul Pino), Jonah Haber (Matthew Ferro) and Melody (Kimmi Johnson).

Bad Jews continues through Aug. 13 with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. The show runs 90 minutes with no intermission and contains adult language. Tickets are $30 for adults; $25 for students, seniors, and military personnel. Theatre League members $20 with ID at the door only. Tickets may be purchased in advance at www.mainstreetplayers.com, or at the box office 60 minutes prior to showtime.
