Welcome to the Yiddishe Theatre!

Yiddish is experiencing a renaissance and Jews all over the world are reclaiming and reviving the language of their ancestors. Welcome to the Yiddishe Theatre will explore the history of Yiddish theatre in both Europe and North America through close engagement with Yiddish plays combined with historical context. Biblical and Talmudic stories have dramatic elements sprinkled with dialogue.  Theatre was generally disapproved by Rabbi and Clergy for the actor taking on the presence of another person.  Women were not permitted to perform in the theatre.  All roles were played by men.  

Like a good Yid, theatre answers one question with another, creating a dialogue that has been going on for centuries and will continue long after we’re gone.  

No knowledge of Yiddish required. 
Mondays, March 4 – April 22
10 am – 11 am

Cost:  JCC Members:  $48, Non-Members: $60

Facilitator:  Floyd Alexander

Iris Folding for Beginners
Thursdays
April 11, 18 & 25
10 am – 12 pm
Warning: Iris Folding is addicting!
Iris folding originated in Holland in the early 1900's. It involves the arrangement of folded strips of paper into spiral designs that resemble the iris of a camera. It's easy to learn with outstanding results on your first lesson. The beginning class project is the heart. Absolutely no experience is necessary. Bring your discarded wrapping paper, (or any paper that folds easily) small scissors (or any scissors if you don't have small ones), scotch tape and a pencil. Join us in learning something new.
