The concert is presented by the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene in celebration of its 101st consecutive season and will honor the 18-year tenure of NYTF artistic director Zalmen Mlotek, along with his wife Debra, for their commitment to enhancing Yiddish Culture.

Patinkin will perform an eclectic program of songs including those from his critically acclaimed concerts Dress Casual and the in-Yiddish Mamaloshen. He is best known on Broadway for his performances in Evita, Sunday in the Park With George, The Secret Garden, and The Wild Party. He currently plays Saul Berenson on Showtime’s hit series Homeland.
