The comedy by Chicago playwright James Sherman is the trite and trivializing conclusion to the Human Race Theatre Company's six-play season at The Loft, a season that promised theatergoers the kind of \"in your face\" stuff they can't get anywhere else. That's laughably untrue in this two-act sitcom treatment of interfaith romance and marriage in a Jewish family that has one foot rooted in tradition and the other seeking a toehold in contemporary American quicksand. The central character in this still-pertinent conflict is Sarah Goldman, an attractive young woman with a serious Gentile boyfriend her parents don't approve of, apparently just because he isn't Jewish. At least, that's the way Sarah sees it. And that's the way the audience is encouraged to see it as well.

You say Sarah [Goldman] said she invented Dr. Steinberg so her parents would stop bugging her about finding a \"nice Jewish boyfriend.\" You say that her parents now wanted to meet Dr. Steinberg. So Sarah, ever resourceful, called an escort service to send her a date. You say, Bo, if I don't believe you I should just go to the Loft Theatre in the Metropolitan Arts Center, 126 N. Main St. where the Human Racewill give bring to life Beau Jest, who, jest me not, will laughingly perform the romantic comedy, including the kugel.

The Human Race Theatre Company is holding a Kugel Kontest on opening night of their upcoming production of Beau Jest. Opening night audience members are encouraged to bake kugel with Mrs. Goldman's Beau Jestrecipe or bake their own favorite noodle kugel recipe and bring it to the theater to be tasted and judged. The winner of the Kugel Kontest will be announced after the performance and the King or Kween of Kugel will be presented with a Kugel Krown.
