✦ OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM
The room people keep coming back to.
The Jewish Dating Game is a live, theatrical matchmaking show created and hosted by Linnea Sage. It is also a third space, a piece of community infrastructure, and the reason Got Chutzpah, Inc. exists.
WHY THIS PROGRAM MATTERS
It's a show. It's also a Jewish gathering space that runs every month.
Three things are happening at once: young Jews feel increasingly disconnected from traditional institutions, dating apps have made connection exhausting, and being publicly Jewish feels more complicated than it did two years ago.
The Jewish Dating Game is the answer to all three at the same time. It is a recurring, low-barrier, off-screen room where Jewish identity is something you walk in with, not something you have to perform. The matchmaking is the hook. The community is the point.
Audiences leave feeling more connected, more confident, and less alone. They come back the next month. They bring a friend.
✦The Mailing List
The list is the open door.
New shows, new cities, and the stories from the last night. One email a month, and you're always the first to know where the room is headed.

Bring the Show
“The Jewish Dating Game brought an unforgettable evening of Jewish joy and meaningful connection to our community. More than 100 people showed up, a true testament to the deep need for relational programming like this. We would be thrilled to host them again anytime.”

Host the Show in Your CommunitySustain the Program
This program runs on more than ticket revenue.
The Jewish Dating Game is intentionally priced to keep the door wide. Subsidized tickets, paid artists, restaurant partnerships, and a touring model that brings the show to new cities every quarter all require funding beyond what ticket sales can cover. If you’ve come to a show and felt what we are trying to build, this is how you keep it going.
