We’ve Got Short Shorts is two fully staged short contemporary comedies by Bruce J. Bloom. In “Daniel Ortega and the Yom Kippur Blues,” directed by Diane Cepeda, it is Yom Kippur and Arthur Kleinman (Leonard Rubinstein) is having a crisis of faith. When he wanders into a Latino saloon, bartender Luis Valencia (Gabriel V. Ortiz) offers him a magic potion to solve his problems. Enter Reesy, a hooker with a heart of gold, and things get complicated. In “The Last Request of Eddie Carmichael/Cohen,” Eddie Carmichael (Steve Black, also directing) announces on his deathbed that he's Jewish, not Catholic, and that his real name is Eddie Cohen. As his dying wish he asks a rabbi (James Kassees) to marry him and sweet Esther Goldman (Alice Cotman). Sister Veronica (Lynne Doyle) keeps insisting that Eddie is Catholic and delusional. Is he telling the truth? Is he lying? Or is he just plain crazy? For more information about Sarasota Jewish Theatre, visit SarasotaJewishTheatre.org.
