Award-Winning San Francisco Playwright and Performer, Charlie Varon, Brings “Feisty Old Jew”, a Comedic Monologue, to the Osher Marin JCC, Sun April 6 at 2:00PM
San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) February 21, 2014 -- Two unique rides at a carnival of comedic monologues at the Kanbar Center for the Performing Arts at the Osher Marin JCC.
With “Feisty Old Jew”, award winning Charlie Varon takes the audience on a ride with Bernie, who at 83 is fed up with so much, including San Francisco's tattoo parlors, medical marijuana dispensaries, designer coffee and waiting for cabs… which leads him to thumb a ride to Marin… and takes Bernie and his new acquaintances for quite an adventure.
