Program Description

Event Details

Join Christa P. Whitney, director of the Yiddish Book Center’s Wexler Oral History Project, as she shares video highlights from the project’s growing collection. We’ll hear from actors who began their careers on the Eastern European stage, familiar faces from American screens who got their start in Yiddish theater, avid Yiddish theater-goers who share memories of performances on New York’s Second Avenue, and artists currently contributing to the present and future of Yiddish theater.

This virtual program is hosted by the Yiddish Book Center. New Providence Memorial Library was selected to participate in the Yiddish Book Center's Public Libraries Program this year.  Register here for the zoom link.
