GROWING UP JORDY PORDY 

GROWING UP JORDY PORDY is RSF Executive Director, Jordan Herskowitz’s hilarious and heartwarming autobiographical one man play about life as a professional mascot. But once his furry gloves come off, Herskowitz narrates a powerful story about growing up Jewish in Texas, being the forgotten middle child with his two brothers suffering from Cystic Fibrosis, and his family’s journey with organ donation. Growing Up Jordy Pordy explores the themes of self-identity, family, religion, and the overall strength of the human spirit.
