Richard Payton and Jon Ager in The Hebrew Hammer at Planet Ant.
He's hip, he's fly - he's at Planet Ant beginning Dec. 4
HAMTRAMCK - He's hip, he's fly, and he never mixes meat with dairy - he's the world's first Jewish private eye, and he's out to save the world in Jonathan Kesselman's The Hebrew Hammer at Planet Ant Theatre Dec. 4 through Jan. 2, 2010.
Mordechai Jefferson Carver is a super-cool Jewish detective who takes no mess and is always ready to do the right thing for his Torah-reading brothers. But Carver is a lone wolf, and he isn't so sure he's interested in taking an assignment from Chief Bloomenbergansteinthal of the Jewish Justice League - or at least not until he meets the Chief's gorgeous daughter, Esther. It seems a mysterious stranger named Damien has made it his business to persuade Jewish children to abandon their faith in favor of celebrating Christmas, and it's Carver's job to find out who is behind Damien's campaign while urging kids to be proud of their Semitic heritage.
