Just for us
January 15, 2020 at lucille lortel theatre
Written and Performed by Alex Edelman
Outer Critics Circle Award and Drama Desk Award nominations for Outstanding Solo Performance
“Just For Us takes the audience through hilarious anecdotes from Alex Edelman’s life — his Olympian brother AJ, an unconventional holiday season, and a gorilla that can do sign language — but at its center is an astonishing and frighteningly relevant story. After a string of anti-Semitic abuse is directed at Edelman online, he decides to covertly attend a gathering of White Nationalists in New York City and comes face to face with the people behind the keyboards. The result is a hair-raising encounter that gives Just For Us its title and final, jaw-dropping moments.”
