‘Brooklyn’ mines pathos, humor of 1st-gen journey
The original title of Jake Ehrenreich’s show-in-the-making was a rather bland “Growing Up in America,” but, fortunately, it will open Feb. 16 at American Jewish University under the more pointed title, “A Jew Grows in Brooklyn.”\n\nHow the title change came about is described by his director, Jon Huberth, in the companion book to the show.
