Emmy Award-winning actress and comedian Judy Gold stars in this funny and moving portrait of Jewish motherhood, which she co-wrote with playwright Kate Moira Ryan. The two women embarked on a five-year journey across the United States, interviewing more than 50 Jewish women of different ages, ethnicities and occupations. With blunt honesty and wry humor, Gold shares her own experiences as both a mother and daughter along with her impressions of the women she interviewed.

Gold is the host of HBO’s At the Multiplex with Judy Gold and regularly performs stand-up comedy on stage and television. She won two Emmy Awards for writing and producing The Rosie O’Donnell Show and was nominated twice for The American Comedy Award’s “Funniest Female Stand-up.” Gold was recently seen in the hit film The Aristocrats and has appeared on Sex and the City, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Law & Order, among many other shows.

25 Questions for a Jewish Mother has been performed to sold-out audiences and critical acclaim throughout the country and was the recipient of a 2006 Drama Desk nomination for “Outstanding Solo Performance.”
