✦ A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT · LIVE JEWISH GATHERING SPACES
In a year when public Jewish life feels heavier, we build the rooms that feel lighter.
Got Chutzpah produces live, in-person Jewish gathering spaces where Jews of every background, and the people who love them, walk in and leave less alone. Our flagship program is The Jewish Dating Game.
WHY WE EXIST
Belonging should feel good.
Got Chutzpah began the night Linnea Sage decided ticket prices couldn't be the wall.
She had launched The Jewish Dating Game in July 2024 and run it out of her own pocket for sixteen months. The room kept growing. The press came. JCCs and synagogues started asking her to bring the show to their cities. And the math caught up with her: keeping the room open to anyone, with one Jewish grandparent or none at all, while paying artists honestly and producing the work at a professional level, was not going to keep working on ticket revenue alone.
In November 2025, she filed the paperwork. Got Chutzpah, Inc. is the nonprofit that exists so The Jewish Dating Game, and everything we build next, can stay accessible.
OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM
The Jewish Dating Game.
A live, theatrical matchmaking show, hosted by Linnea Sage, where Jewish singles take the stage, two new couples walk away with restaurant dinner dates, and the audience leaves having met someone they didn't know an hour ago.
Each show opens with a comedic sermon affirming one simple truth: feeling Jewish is enough. Anyone with Jewish heritage belongs. Allies are welcomed. The show runs monthly in New York City and tours nationally. Past venues include Caveat, the Miami Beach JCC, the Edlavitch DCJCC, and the Weitzman Museum in Philadelphia.
PRESS
The press has been kvelling.
“A live game show on the Lower East Side aims to help Jewish singles find their soulmates.”
New York Jewish Week / JTA
“There is not a whiff of fear in the air. The audience is whooping and clapping, and the people onstage are smiling.”

Bring the Show
“The Jewish Dating Game brought an unforgettable evening of Jewish joy and meaningful connection to our community. Despite a recent snowstorm, more than 100 people showed up. One attendee called it the best program they had ever attended at the EDCJCC. We would be thrilled to host them again anytime.”
