The Jew Who Saved Christmas - Act 1

Act 1: The Jew Who Saved Christmas

Welcome to the holiday chaos you never knew you needed. Meet Bernie Gold—Spirit Airlines check-in clerk, reluctant adult, and connoisseur of bad decisions. It’s Christmas Eve (or, as Bernie will remind you, the seventh night of Hanukkah), and while the rest of O’Hare Airport is brimming with holiday cheer, Bernie’s slouching her way through TSA complaints, confiscated wine bottles, and unsolicited career advice from her aggressively optimistic co-worker, Eve.

Bernie’s life is a snow globe of dysfunction, and someone just shook it—hard. Enter a mysterious piece of "Miracle Gelt" that takes this night from mildly chaotic to “holy crap, is that actually Santa Claus in my parents’ garage?” Let’s just say Santa’s not exactly in prime sleigh-piloting condition, and Bernie might’ve had something to do with it. What follows is a whirlwind of edible-fueled mishaps, family judgment, and a holiday disaster that’s teetering on the edge of redemption.

And the Cast?
This lineup will make you laugh so hard you’ll spill your eggnog:

• Jeff Bergman (@jeffbergmanofficial) – The voice legend who brings magic to every moment.
• Selyna Warren (@selynadoubleya) – Writer, star, and the kind of comedic genius that keeps you hooked.
• Jim O’Heir (@therealjimoheir) – The guy who stole your heart in Parks and Rec steals the show again.
• Marissa Read (@marissalread) – A double-duty powerhouse delivering laughs and heart.
• John Milhiser (@johnmilhiser) – Former SNL dynamo bringing the absurdity to life.
• Kiel Kennedy (@kielkennedy) – The gold standard of comedy chaos.
• Tiffany Black (@tiffanyblackness) – Pure holiday hilarity in human form.
• Carla Delaney (@voicesbycarla) – The kind of voice work that makes you laugh even when you don’t want to.
• Ashley Bell (@ashleymichaelbell) – A scene-stealer who brings charm and mischief in equal measure.
• David Jacks – An actor who makes every moment count.

✨This isn’t your cookie-cutter holiday story. It’s raw, messy, ridiculously funny, and filled with just the right amount of holiday heart.

Elevator Pitch:
In Act 1 of The Jew Who Saved Christmas, you’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even tear up a little as Bernie Gold stumbles her way through a Hanukkah-Christmas mashup of biblical proportions. With sharp dialogue, hilariously flawed characters, and just enough holiday magic to keep you guessing, this is the start of a holiday tale that’s anything but traditional—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
