November 2 & 3, 2012 at 9:30 pm
at The TMT Lab

Presented by The Brick
October 17 – November 3, 2012

Join us as we celebrate the treasures of yiddish musical theater, the hidden psychosexual meanings of jewish cuisine, the infanticidal wrath of a betrayed maiden, and cats !

Goldfaden’s classic operetta offers hum-along Schlagers such as “Rozhinkes mit mandlen,” mixed with male treachery, bride-snatching and infant mortality.

With: Regina Gibson (soprano), Seth Gilman (baritone), Sara Henry (mezzo-soprano), Yelena Shmulenson (mezzo-soprano), Lidiya Yankovskaya (piano), Jeremy Bloom (accordion), and Maya Shanker (violin)
