Theater: The multi-talented, ingratiating Jake Ehrenreich has returned to West Palm Beach’s Cuillo Centre for another winter season of his nostalgic one-man show, A Jew Grows in Brooklyn. He draws on his memories of his East Flatbush neighborhood in the 1960s in an evening that is part stand-up comedy, part musical and part tribute to his family — both Holocaust survivors and victims. Ehrenreich comes from the tradition of show business performers who will knock themselves out to entertain, and he has a built-in appeal, even if you are not Jewish and have never been to Brooklyn. Through April 5 at the Cuillo Centre for the Arts, (561) 835-9226. — H. Erstein

Music: If you can take a long lunch hour today, catch Seraphic Fire at the Harriet Himmel Theater in CityPlace, where the Miami-based chamber choir will present Ikon, music from the Russian Orthodox tradition.
