Grandma Sylvia's Funeral
by Glenn Wein
Synopsis
Audiences flock to join the bereaved at this Jewish funeral, a long running interactive sensation Off Broadway and in Los Angeles.
The mourners (i.e. the audience) at Grandma's funeral are treated to fond remembrances, biographical anecdotes, shameless bickering and vaudeville like turns with the dearly departed's friends and family.
A light mitzvah meal provides a brief respite in the on going hilarity.
