An Exciting Event for Los Angeles!
A Unique Opportunity for the Yiddishkayt Los Angeles
Mishpokhe!
The Folksbiene National Yiddish Theatre, now in its 92nd year
of continuing performance, makes its Los Angeles debut with
its critically acclaimed and standing room only New York
production of the musical revue “On Second Avenue,”
featuring the original cast including star Mike Burstyn.
“’On Second Avenue,’ the nostalgic musical about Yiddish
Theater’s golden age, recreates the charm of that lost world
beautifully.”
New York Daily News
“Will have you stomping and clapping”
New York Times
While bringing to new life many of the classic songs and
scenes from the treasure trove of the Yiddish theater
repertoire, (sung in Yiddish with English supertitles), the
narrative, scenes, and many of the classic comedy routines
are performed in English, making the show accessible for all.
“...the talented, energetic group sweeps through a
dizzying array of songs, skits, soft-shoe numbers and
slapstick.”

“Burstyn and the cast pay homage to the writers, singers
and actors of generations past..through folksy, often-times
hilarious stories, skits and rousing soul-stirring songs, which
all but had audience members, bubbes un kinderlach,
grandmas and children alike, jumping out of their seats and
dancing a hora in the aisles.”
Erica Sherman, 24/7

Yiddish with George and Laura tells the story of the
farshtunkiner family's birthday bash at WASP
headquarters in Kennebunkport, Maine. See what happens
when the Bush's are able to express themselves in the
mame-loshen. Oy, if only their English was
so good!
