Best-selling author Nathan Englander (What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank) adapts this new play from his acclaimed short story of the same name.

A Soviet prison, 1952. Stalin's secret police have rounded up twenty-six writers, the giants of Yiddish literature in Russia. As judgment looms, a twenty-seventh suddenly appears: Pinchas Pelovits, unpublished and unknown. Baffled by his arrest, he and his cellmates wrestle with the mysteries of party loyalty and politics, culture and identity, and with hat it means to write in troubled times. When they discover why the twenty-seventh man is among them, the writers come to realize that even in the face of tyranny stories still have the power to transcend.

VIDEO! Director Barry Edelstein and Actor Ron Rifkin discuss the history behind THE TWENTY-SEVENTH MAN, the writing of Nathan Englander, and the process of adapting a story for the stage.

See you soon for bright lights on a dark night!

Best-selling author Nathan Englander (What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank) adapts this new play from his acclaimed short story of the same name.

A Soviet prison, 1952. Stalin's secret police have rounded up twenty-six writers, the giants of Yiddish literature in Russia. As judgment looms, a twenty-seventh suddenly appears: Pinchas Pelovits, unpublished and unknown. Baffled by his arrest, he and his cellmates wrestle with the mysteries of party loyalty and politics, culture and identity, and with hat it means to write in troubled times. When they discover why the twenty-seventh man is among them, the writers come to realize that even in the face of tyranny stories still have the power to transcend.

VIDEO! Director Barry Edelstein and Actor Ron Rifkin discuss the history behind THE TWENTY-SEVENTH MAN, the writing of Nathan Englander, and the process of adapting a story for the stage.

"The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming", London, UK, 7 Dec 2012

A new adaptation of the absurdly funny Lemony Snicket story brought to the stage by YaD Arts in association with Tall Stories the award- winning children's theatre company that brought you The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and the sell out Twinkle Twonkle last year.

Roundhouse,
Chalk Farm Road,

The story begins in a tiny village more or less covered in snow, where a Hanukkah Latke, a fried potato pancake, is born screaming. Well, wouldn’t you scream if you were thrown into a pan of boiling oil? The Latke jumps from the boiling pan and races through the wintery village, deep in the throes of festive preparations. Lost amongst the snowy landscape, the Christmas lights and pine trees, will our Latke ever find where it belongs?

Lemony Snicket’s Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming is a show about being yourself and appreciating others. The perfect family show to see this winter with an amazing cast, live music, lots of laughter and screaming potato pancake...

Mashké : quatre musiciens aux origines et univers différents, animés par l’envie d’injecter dans le répertoire traditionnel des musiques juives d’Europe centrale, leur propre réalité et d’autres sonorités. C’est la volonté de mêler les mots et les langues, d’allier cultures et territoires hétérogènes, de revisiter et réinterpréter ces magnifiques mélodies. Mais c’est avant tout une invitation au partage, à la danse et au chant tout autant qu’au rêve, à l’émotion et à la réflexion.

Shirim Klezmer Orchestra performs "The Klezmer Nutcracker," Cambridge, MA, 9 Dec 2012

Cambridge, MA
617-492-5300
Tickets: $15/13

Shirim’s legendary klezmer rendition of the Nutcracker is a brilliant cross-cultural achievement which is fun, serious and rocking all at once. They distill the classic ballet suite down to its folky essence and will change the way you think of Tchaikovsky forever. Emphasizing the Eastern European elements of the score with witty intelligence and playful irreverence, Shirim redefines the modern melting pot of "world music." Its overwhelming virtuosity in both the performance and musical conception harken back to the manic genius of Spike Jones' classical parodies and the artistry of Ellington's classic transcription.

Shirim has performed all over the U.S., Canada and Europe. They have collaborated with Maurice Sendak (Pincus & the Pig), Ellen Kushner (The Golden Dreydl) and played with the Philly Pops and on the soundtrack of Woody Allen’s “Deconstructing Harry.” They are traditional and new and alive at the same time. Come see them, you won’t regret it in this intimate venue. After over 25 years of playing, they are a Boston institution. Glenn Dickson, clarinet; Gary Bohan, trumpet; Michael Mclaughlin, accordion; Jim Gray, tuba; Eric Rosenthal, drums.

Enchanting, virtuosic, ornate – Ismail Fencioglu is a true master of Turkish music. He has mesmerized Canadian, European and Turkish audiences with his fleet-fingered oud playing, soaring tenor vocals and encyclopedic knowledge of the classical Turkish music repertoire. A graduate of the State Conservatory of Istanbul Technical University, he has performed throughout Turkey both live and on television with other masters of the genre, including Alaeddin Yavasca, Bekir Sidki Sezgin, Erkan Ogur and Tulin Yakarcelik. Residing now in Montreal, Canada, Ismail has partnered with high-energy, blues-rock inspired klezmer group Shtreiml to perform a set of "Turkish Roots & Jewish Blues." Through compelling original compositions and new arrangements of traditional folk melodies, the ensemble explores the ancient connections between Jewish and Turkish music. Joined by harmonica innovator Jason Rosenblatt (harmonica, keys), Rachel Lemisch (trombone), Thierry Arsenault (drums) and Joel Kerr (bass) the group's set has been labeled "explosive" (Halifax Chronicle Herald) and "exhilarating" (Rootsworld).

"The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming", London, UK, 13 Dec 2012

A new adaptation of the absurdly funny Lemony Snicket story brought to the stage by YaD Arts in association with Tall Stories the award- winning children's theatre company that brought you The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and the sell out Twinkle Twonkle last year.

13 December, 2012, 10am and 2pm
Studio Theatre
Roundhouse,
Chalk Farm Road,
London, NW1 8EH

The story begins in a tiny village more or less covered in snow, where a Hanukkah Latke, a fried potato pancake, is born screaming. Well, wouldn’t you scream if you were thrown into a pan of boiling oil? The Latke jumps from the boiling pan and races through the wintery village, deep in the throes of festive preparations. Lost amongst the snowy landscape, the Christmas lights and pine trees, will our Latke ever find where it belongs?

Lemony Snicket’s Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming is a show about being yourself and appreciating others. The perfect family show to see this winter with an amazing cast, live music, lots of laughter and screaming potato pancake...

For three years local singer Heather Klein has worked together with Bay Area communities, local artists and musicians to present “Hungry for Yiddish; A Mitzvah Project.” Several klezmer bands, Yiddish singers, classical, and world musicians pitch in to present a series of concerts to raise money and awareness for the Bay Area’s homeless and hungry population. Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Berkeley Food Pantry, which provides hunger relief in Berkeley and Albany.

9-10pm: Yiddish song with Heather Klein’s Inextinguishable Trio and Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell. Both Heather and Anthony bring a captivating deep artistry and operatic technique to Yiddish song. Their voices call audiences to rapt attention, their songs deep with history infused with new life.

10pm on: klezmer dance party!
The Bay’s favorite Yiddish dance instructor and instigator Bruce Bierman will lead dances. Bruce relocated to L.A. so catch him while he’s here! Saul Goodman’s Klezmer Orkestar features Mike Perlmutter (clarinet, saxophone), Dave Rosenfeld (violin, mandolin), Dmitri Gaskin (accordion), and friends. Mike, Dave, and Dmitri are resident musicians of klezmer Monday’s at Saul’s Deli.

The Arthouse will feature watercolors by local painter (and Yiddish student) Margaret Sloan. Her portraits aim to capture the small, intimate moments when the inner self flashes out and peeks at the world.

Wholesale Klezmer Band, Saratoga Springs, NY, 15 December 2012

Please join the Wholesale Klezmer Band at 8 pm on Saturday evening, December 15, the last night of Hanukkah for our annual concert of Yiddish music at Caffé Lena, 47 Phila Street, Saratoga Springs, NY.

To mark the last night of Hanukkah, this traditional Klezmer ensemble will take the Caffè Lena stage to bring a little Yiddishkeit to the season with an emotionally uplifting performance of music, comedy and lessons.

Each year their repertoire expands and deepens, from swinging, danceable songs in Yiddish and Ashkenazic Hebrew, to songs of freedom and social justice, stories, humor, and poems. They make everything accessible to a mixed audience with translations, cue cards, and that universal language that makes your toes tap. If you haven't seen Wholesale Klezmer recently, it's time to rediscover them.

"The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming", London, UK, 23 Dec 2012

A new adaptation of the absurdly funny Lemony Snicket story brought to the stage by YaD Arts in association with Tall Stories the award- winning children's theatre company that brought you The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and the sell out Twinkle Twonkle last year.

23 December, 2012, 11am and 2:30pm
Studio Theatre
Roundhouse,
Chalk Farm Road,
London, NW1 8EH

The story begins in a tiny village more or less covered in snow, where a Hanukkah Latke, a fried potato pancake, is born screaming. Well, wouldn’t you scream if you were thrown into a pan of boiling oil? The Latke jumps from the boiling pan and races through the wintery village, deep in the throes of festive preparations. Lost amongst the snowy landscape, the Christmas lights and pine trees, will our Latke ever find where it belongs?

Lemony Snicket’s Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming is a show about being yourself and appreciating others. The perfect family show to see this winter with an amazing cast, live music, lots of laughter and screaming potato pancake...
