The Essence (A Yiddish Theatre Dim Sum)

“Guaranteed nostalgia-free,” this irreverent journey through Yiddish theater’s legacy has established its success by bringing in audiences of all ages who have had no prior exposure to the language. The Essence introduces them to the most expressive language in the world via scenes, sketches, and songs in Yiddish (accompanied by English supertitles) along with “oddball detours” about the language itself, all “in 83 New York minutes.”
