Philadelphia Theatre Company presents Judy Gold in 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother, written by Kate Moira Ryan with Judy Gold, directed by Karen Kohlhaas. This special holiday production will run December 11-21 at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre, home of the Philadelphia Theatre Company (Broad and Lombard Streets).

The result is a humorous and often poignant look at the mother-daughter bond, Jewish identity and the complicated and fulfilling nature of motherhood. 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother received a 2006 Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance and recently won a GLAAD Award for Outstanding New York Theatre: Broadway and Off-Broadway. Emmy award-winning writer/actress/comic Judy Gold is the host of HBO's "At the Multiplex with Judy Gold" and also hosted Comedy Central's "100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time", and the GLAAD Media Awards which aired on LOGO and VH1. The winner of two Emmy Awards for writing and producing "The Rosie O'Donnell Show", Gold was nominated twice for The American Comedy Awards' Funniest Female Stand-Up. Most recently, Gold co-hosted "The View." Her most recent TV specials include a half-hour comedy special for LOGO, and her stand-up specials include "Comedy Central Presents: Judy Gold", Comedy Central's "Tough Crowd Stand Up", and her own HBO half-hour special for which she received a Cable ACE Award. Featured in the HBO documentary "All Aboard", she was also seen in the smash hit film "The Aristocrats."
