Jewish comedy and talent have been an essential part of the American entertainment industry for more than a century. Jordan Palmer, Chief Digital Content Officer for the St. Louis Jewish Light, continues his popular Mirowitz Center series by highlighting the hilarious Mel Brooks – who’s turning 100 years old in June! This legendary writer/director was Carl Reiner’s lifelong best friend and produced such classic films as “The Producers,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Spaceballs,” “High Anxiety,” and “Young Frankenstein.” LOCATION: Mirowitz Center 8 Millstone Campus Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146 No cost to register, but RSVP required.
