Content Advice
A show on the complex and not-so-complex men seen in today's Jewish society.

Have you ever met a Jewish man you haven’t liked? Don’t answer that question.

The Wise Men present hilarious and uncomfortably familiar stories of Jewish men grappling with their masculinity and whether or not to call their mums back.

Did you know Jewish Rock is a valid genre of music? Let Mordy, a professional camp counsellor, teach the rules of Jewish summer camp with his guitar, also named Mordy.

Just John is an active listener and wants to give you the space to ask him out on a date. Yoni Yonatan wants you to know he DOES NOT CARE about your feelings!! These Jewish men will pull at your heartstrings, get you hot and heavy, and teach you a thing or two about feminism.

‘Yael Elisheva’s performance transcends cultural boundaries.’
Theatre Full Stop

Welcome to Yaya’s “city of fools”, inspired by the Jewish folklore stories of “The Wise Men of Chelm.”

Created by Yael Elisheva, directed by Lara Robinson
