The film, directed by award winning filmmaker Dan Katzir and produced by Ravit Markus, under the auspices of the Center for Jewish Culture and Creativity, is a must see film for anyone who loves theater:
Enter the funny, larger-than-life world of Yiddish Theater today through this powerful documentary film about the amazing woman who has kept the oldest running Yiddish Theater in America alive. Zypora Spaisman is a Holocaust survivor who conquers all hearts in her passion for art, life and Yiddish.
This heartwarming story of one unique woman's struggle portrays the fight of both an old art form to stay relevant and an old actress to find meaning and a stage in a society that worships youth.
Shot in real time in one of the coldest winters in New York, Zypora's theater has one week to raise funding to keep their show going. Many miracles occur during this week, but will they be enough to save this critically acclaimed Yiddish show?
