In this episode, we continue explore the oral history of the Folksbiene with longtime company member Itzy Firestone. We learn about the Folksbiene in the 1980s as the company navigate a difficult question: How do we preserve Yiddish theatre in a world with fewer and fewer fluent Yiddish speakers?

Against the Odds (feat. Itzy Firestone)

Today’s episode is all about Purim spiels, comic re-dramatizations of the Book of Esther. The book of Esther tells the story of the Hebrew woman Esther who becomes Queen of Persia and thwarts the genocide of her people by the evil Haeman. We will be joined by NYTF Associate Artistic Director Motl Didner who will give us a history of the earliest form of Jewish theatrical performance. Then stick around for our recurring segment Ask Itzy with the longest tenured member of the Folksbiene Itzy Firestone. SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast, and Stitcher.
