| | Tales Told By Idiots is so much more than your average open mic night - it's a space to connect with new ideas, art, and terrible anecdotes. Anyone can sign up to share a story, perform a scripted work, sing a song, or play something original. The only catch is, you've got 7 minutes and a different theme to riff on every night! To sign up in advance, e-mail caitlin@opheliasjump.org! | Buy Tickets | |

Each performance is a completely different script brought to life by a talented team of improvisors who have already started one drink ahead of their audience. Yes, it's technically scripted - but the experience is nothing that anyone can truly prepare for. | Buy Tickets | |

A SKETCH COMEDY SHOW
After the hilarious and successful “Feminine Mystake” sketch show that we presented in our first season, we’ve all wanted to bring a full length comedy sketch show back into our season. We are super excited to be able to do so in 2018. A full length show made up of a variety of original sketches co-written by a group of talented young writers. Satirical, absurd, whimsical, thought provoking (maybe) and always hilarious! | Buy Tickets | |

The Anarchist
by David Mamet
Ann and Cathy grapple with ideas concerning the individual’s relationship to society, the nature of redemption and the qualities of mercy. Ann is steadfast in her belief that people never really change and that "kindness to the wicked is cruelty to the just," which makes a vice out of mercy.
“Anarchist” exists on the peaks of a philosophical Olympus where ideas on eschatology, etymology, phenomenology and, yes, criminology are exchanged by intellectual (if not moral) equals.- The New York Times | Buy Tickets | |

Bad Jews
by Joshua Harmon
Nominee! 2014 Lucille Lortel Award, Outstanding Play
Nominee! 2012-2013 Outer Critics Circle Awards, Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play & John Gassner Award Nomination
The night after their grandfather’s funeral, three cousins engage in a verbal (and sometimes physical) battle. In one corner is Daphna Feygenbaum, a “Real Jew” who is volatile, self-assured, and unbending. In the other is her equally stubborn cousin Liam, a secular and entitled young man, who has his shiksa girlfriend, Melody, in tow. Stuck in the middle is Liam’s brother, Jonah, who tries to stay out of the fray. When Liam stakes claim to their grandfather's Chai necklace, a vicious and hilarious brawl over family, faith, and legacy ensues. | Buy Tickets | |
