Old Jews Telling Jokes
Dan Okrent in conversation with Ted Reinstein
Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 8:00PM

Temple Israel - Levi Auditorium
477 Longwood Ave.
Boston, MA 02215


Dan Okrent talks with Ted Reinstein about how old Jews telling jokes became an unlikely YouTube sensation, and how he and co-creator Peter Gethers transformed this phenomenon into the off-Broadway hit Old Jews Telling Jokes, a revue that pays tribute to and reinvents classic Jewish humor. Okrent also talks about the twists and turns of his own surprising career—from the first public editor of The New York Times to inventor of fantasy baseball to award-winning historian and now to theater producer. Ted Reinstein is a correspondent for “Chronicle,” WCVB’s nightly news magazine, as well as an actor and playwright.
