The Flea to Present Holiday Engagement of The Flying Latke

The Flea Theater will present the Chanukah-themed holiday show, The Flying Latke, by Arthur Yorinks. It will be directed by Ben Kamine, Tom Costello, Kristan Seemel and Danya Taymor, and perform Saturday and Sunday mornings, December 3-8.

Adapted by Yorinks from his classic children’s book, The Flying Latke tells the story of young Danny Silverstein and his “meshugge” family as they celebrate the first night of Chanukah. Their holiday food fight sends a latke sailing out the window and over the city, causing a UFO frenzy that traps the Silversteins in their home with their extended family visiting and nothing but latkes to eat.

Performers will include Yoni Ben-Yehuda, Arturo Castro, Morgan Everitt, Eric Folks, Kana Hatakeyama, Tedra Millan, Robert Rodems, Sade Namei, and Joann Sacco.
