Father-Land " The first fruit of Jeff Raz's solo theatrical quest opens
this week - and it's a beaut..It's a complex and resonant narrative
of a young Jew finding himself visiting Dachau and making connections
with the long-deceased father he didn't know he was searching for(there's
more than one pun in that title)… it's told with a disarmingly
deceptive simplicity and unobtrusively ingenious layering of skills
that makes its hour upon the stage feel like a full evening."

Birth Mark "Raz has lots of fun teasing the audience with braided
levels of reality in this pleasing riff that centers on the ups
and downs of the adoption process but also lightly weaves in a search
for cultural identity. "Birth Mark" charms us with its
honest look at one man's tentative path toward fatherhood." |

Belt by the Bay" series at the Traveling Jewish Theater in San Francisco.
