Carol Ostrow & Joan Finkelstein present “ZERO HOUR” Starring Jim Brochu
as Zero Mostel 
Directed by Piper Laurie
Featuring John Fischer at the Piano
Monday, November 5th, 2018 7:30pm at The Actors’ Temple 339 West 47th Street, NY, NY 10036 | All tickets $100, General Admission Light refreshments after the show.
($25.00 of the ticket price is tax deductible) | Buy Online Purchase Tickets Here | Buy via Phone Call Larry Roberts at 917-359-1249 | Jim Brochu brings Zero Mostel back to life in “Zero Hour.” He re-creates the definitive backstory to this amazing performer's appearances in such shows as “Fiddler on the Roof,” “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” Mel Brooks’ “The Producers,” and many more. Brochu is both hilarious and poignant as he recounts Mostel’s big life - as a Broadway legend, a larger than life personality and the target of Hollywood blacklisting. | “This is acting on the grand scale, full of blood and guts and glory and if you care about theatre, or about the evils that people have done (and still continue to do) in the name of politics, then you must see this show.” TORONTO STAR (Richard Ouzounian) “I don’t know how many hours Mr. Brochu, who also wrote the script, has spent in front of a mirror practicing his eye rolls and bellowing quips, but it has paid off. He’s the spitting image of the bearish Mostel, down to the strands of hair barely covering his head.” THE NEW YORK TIMES (Jason Zioman) “... a madcap theatrical portrait of the legendary Zero Mostel that is absolutely delightful and, ultimately, deeply moving.” TORONTO SUN (John Coulbourn) | The Actors’ Temple, Congregation Ezrath Israel, where spirituality, creativity, acceptance and inclusion are core principles, where enduring values of Judaism translate into human connections. Progressive and egalitarian, welcoming people from all denominations, interfaith couples and families, regardless of race, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Find community. Experience deeds of loving-kindness. Nourish your mind, heart, and soul. Deepen your relationship to God and Judaism. And we’re not just for actors, singers, dancers, performers, musicians, artists and writers, although we have many treasured and creative members in those professions! 
| This is a very important play, perfect as a reflection of the times we live in today, and our beautiful Actors’ Temple is the perfect venue. Please come, enjoy and help us reach our goals for the 21st Century.
This event is not to be missed. MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW! |

Dear Friends, Family and Congregants of The Actors’ Temple,
We will be celebrating our 102nd Anniversary in our very own recently renovated sanctuary and lower level, on Monday, March 25th, 2019, from 6:30-9:30pm.
Our entertainment for the evening will be the fabulous Tony Middleton and his Trio. He traded in his amateur boxing gloves and jumped into the music business around 1952. His most famous recording of the era was the hit song “Church Bells May Ring” with The Willows. Tony has worked in the music business ever since, producing many great records and singles, working with many of the greatest performers of his time, and contributing his voice for many film soundtracks. His repertoire covers a wide range of musical styles, genres, and periods.
Whatever your age, whatever your musical tastes, Tony has something for you. Would you expect any less from a man with seven decades of work under his belt?
Please come and have a great time while also supporting The Actors’ Temple. I’ll certainly be there and I hope many of you will, too
Lots of love and good wishes,
Carol Ostrow, President
