Di Gantse Velt iz a Teater is a evening of scenes from six famous Yiddish plays, performed in the original Yiddish with English supertitles. From melodramatic domestic dramas to slapstick physical comedy; from turn-of-the-century Jewish brothel romance to the coming of the Messiah, experience all that the Yiddish stage has to offer.
Don't know Yiddish? Don't worry! ENGLISH SUBTITLES are provided throughout!
