Jackie Hoffman will bring her pseudo-autobiographical one-woman show A Chanukah Charol to New World Stages for a run of Friday and Saturday evenings, December 8-29. There will also be a special Christmas Day performance.

The show, which was co-written with and directed by Michael Schiralli, finds the kvetching comedienne examining her life when visited by the Ghosts of Chanukah past, present, and future, along with Yiddish theater legend Molly Picon.

Hoffman has been seen on Broadway in The Addams Family, Xanadu, and Hairspray. She currently appears on the NBC comedy The New Normal.
