Red Diaper Baby: A Revolutionary Comedy

A performer of autobiographical monologues, Kornbluth wrote this comic coming-of-age story of a young boy who believes he must grow up to lead a Communist revolution in America. The monologue dramatizes his upbringing as the child of Jewish Communists in New York City in the 1960s and ’70s. The show, which he performed off-Broadway, was filmed live at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco and made for the Sundance Channel.
