The vibrant Yiddish theater, rooted in ancient traditions, comes alive through Stefan Kanfer's exploration of its role in the immigrant experience. He captures the energy, belief, and determination that fueled its establishment and success, revealing the behind-the-scenes drama along with the onstage performances. The book introduces the diverse cast of characters—actors, playwrights, and directors—who contributed to this influential cultural phenomenon. It serves as both a tribute and an elegy for a brief yet dazzling chapter in American theater history.
