About This Show

Comprised of the comic plays — “The Pushcart Peddlers,” “The Man Who Couldn’t Stop Crying” and “74 Georgia Avenue” — Shpiel! Shpiel! Shpiel! chronicles the Jewish-American experience across three generations, in a sweeping panorama spanning early 20th century immigration through mid-century assimilation to the present day.  The three-time Tony winning director Gene Saks, the stage and television actor Bob Dishy and Motl Didner direct one play each while pooling their talents with the translator Moishe Rosenfeld, a cast of eight, and with musical director Zalmen Mlotek who conceives the musical inter-actes.
