F-IRE COLLECTIVE'S RHYTHM AND JEWS, London, UK, 1 Jan 2015

Lemony Snicket's Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming

JW3 15 - 19th December and 28th December - 4th January
Thu, Jan 1, 2pm & 4:30pm
JW3
341-351 Finchley Road
London, NW3 6ET, UK

Box Office: 020 7433 8988

The Lowry, Salford: 22nd - 24th December
Theatre Royal, Bath: 7th - 10th January
Mac, Birmingham: 11th January

"A wonderfully inventive take on the usual seasonal fare." Time Out ****

This story begins in a tiny vilage, more or less covered in snow, where a Hanukhah latke, a fried potato pancake, is born screaming. 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 and Christmas lights, will our Latke ever find where it belongs?


This adaptation of the absurdly funny Lemony Snicket story is vividly brought to life in Tall Stories' unique physical style, with live music, lots of laughs and a screaming potato pancake.

"Deliciously directed.... they create an air of adorable silliness, a good-natured knowingness that tips delicately into pastiche." The Telegraph ****

Casco Bay Tummlers w/Eric LaPerna, Portland, ME, 2 Jan 2015

The Casco Bay Tummlers

Friday, January 2, 6:00 - 8:00
Blue
650 Congress St.
Portland, ME

No door charge, but your donations are appreciated.

In November, three of us - Carl on flutes and guitar, John on bass and Steve on clarinet and sax - once again had a chance to play with Maine's own master of Middle Eastern percussion, Eric LaPerna. It was so much fun for us (and the audience) we sought out a venue for that lineup to play more regularly. We're pleased to say that Blue, located right in the middle of Portland (650 Congress St.) and one of the Port City's premier spots for all kinds of music, offered us a monthly appearance.
We'll be kicking it off on the first Friday of 2015 from 6:00 to 8:00 and then switching to a regular time of first Thursday from 7:00 - 9:00.

music from Jill Sobule's "Yentl," NYC, 15 Jan 2015

Jill Sobule’s Music from Yentl
Featuring the Isle of Klezbos

Thursday, January 15 at 7:30
David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, Frieda and Roy Furman Stage

Based on Isaac Bashevis Singer’s short story “Yentl the Yeshiva Boy” and updated with new music and lyrics composed by Jill Sobule, Yentl tells the story of a young girl in 19th century Eastern Europe forbidden to pursue her dream of studying Talmud. Unwilling to accept her fate, she disguises herself as a man. But when she falls in love, Yentl must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her identity. Invigorated with a bracing klezmer/pop/rock score by Jill Sobule (the original “I Kissed a Girl,” “Supermodel”), Yentl asks up-to-the-minute questions about gender and sexuality.

“Yentl offers sweetness and laughter with a modern twist.”—Sarasota Herald Tribune

Adapted for the stage by Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer

Additional music by Robin Eaton

A Lincoln Center commission
