WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Adapted, Choreographed and Directed By Eleanor Reissa.
Musical Score Compiled by Chana Mlotek with Zalmen Mlotek and Eleanor Reissa.
Based on the play "Hershele Ostropolyer" written by Moyshe Gershenson. Later adapted by Joseph Glickson.
A Comic Tale Full of Song, Wit and Meshugene Antics.
Before the Marx Brothers, there was "Hershele", a beloved folk hero and compassionate jester who battles injustice armed only with his wits. In this comic tale full of song, Hershele mobilizes a community to overcome the greedy desires of a villain who stands in the way of young love. The lively music and "meshugene" antics will inspire gales of laughter, set toes tapping and make for a truly memorable evening at the theater.

The Adventures of Hershele Ostropolyer, now at the Baruch Performing Arts Center, doesn't rely nearly so much on the playfulness of the Yiddish language as it does on the imaginative theatricality of its staging, its enchanting score, and the fine performances given by one and all.
