Review: ‘Not That Judaism,’ but Crazy Just the Same

Monica Piper is a genial secrets and techniques for her own life in “Not That Judaism,” a one-woman display at New World Levels that varies all over — too all over, perhaps — but keeps the concept of the headline always within vision.

Ms. Piper uses her informal link to her religious beliefs as some type of outdoor umbrella under which she accumulates experiences about her childhood; her dearest dad, who formed her feeling of humor; her profession as a standup comic; her job as an author and manufacturer for the children’s display “Rugrats”; and more.

Ms. Piper, instructed by Indicate Waldrop, is in her comfortable area with the crazy things, of course, and the comedy high factors are delightful.

She’s less effective when she changes serious, trying for a poignancy that needs more performing expertise than she possesses; several sections are more maudlin than shifting. Yes, a divorce or a mother or dad with Alzheimer’s illness is stressful but it’s also pretty very common, and in trying to dairy these minutes, Ms. Piper can seem self-pitying rather than informative.
