If you’re looking for a lighthearted romantic comedy about a mildly dysfunctional Jewish family, “Beau Jest,” is just the ticket.

The story, set in Chicago, takes place at kindergarten teacher Sarah Goldman’s apartment. She has what she thinks is a serious problem: Her boyfriend, Chris Cringle, is not Jewish, and her parents did not like him after meeting him only once, so Sarah tells her parents she broke up with Chris. Now her mom is constantly trying to set her up with random Jewish men, which is causing a bit of turmoil in her life. What’s a girl to do?  Sarah decides to hire a man named Bob Schroeder from “Heaven Sent Escort Service” to play the perfect boyfriend, Dr. David Steinberg, so her parents will get off her back.

The cast: 
Sarah Goldman  (young kindergarten teacher, mid-20's-early 30's)

Bob (an actor, her boyfriend, same age as Sarah)
Joel (her brother, same age range as Sarah)
