Event Details
Description
The Yiddish theater and its stars existed wherever large populations of Jewish people lived. Due to the universality of the Yiddish language, these itinerate stars were able to travel from theater to theater, city to city and country to country. From original recordings, we will hear how these stars performed, how they became Americanized and how they later entered other venues of entertainment like radio and film. Wonderful ethnic songs and skits will illustrate the broad talent of these entertainers from a long forgotten era.
