<div><strong>ABOUT YTE</strong>
</div>
<div>For many of us, Yiddish was the secret language of our parents or grandparents, overheard conversations, fragments of song, or the Yiddish world of <em>Fiddler on the Roof</em>. Today, Yiddish words have become part of our vernacular. But they only hint at the rich history of theatre, literature and musical traditions created in this language.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yiddish Theatre Ensemble is committed to bringing these historic and socially relevant works to the stage. Our celebrations of this heritage include the sold-out performances of the <em>Di Megileh of Itzik Manger</em>, an award-winning online version of <em>God of Vengeance</em> by Sholem Asch, and our stellar and highly praised co-production of <em>Indecent</em> by Paula Vogel with San Francisco Playhouse.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>ABOUT BETWEEN WORLDS</strong>
</div>
<div>YTE recently produced the new play, <strong><em>Between Worlds, Based on the Life and Poetry of Irena Klepfisz</em></strong>, conceived and written by Naomi Newman and directed by Bruce Bierman. Naomi Newman co-founder of Traveling Jewish Theatre, brings her enormous talents to the portrayal of this courageous poet, a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto, and an activist who came out as a lesbian at a time when that could have jeopardized her academic and social standing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Between Worlds</em> had a five-day run August 16-20, 2023 at the Live Oak Theatre in Berkeley. A filmed version created by Jeremy Knight and Mark Faulkner is now available on the YTE website.

</div>
<div>In Irena Klepfisz’s poetry, she describes herself as a “keeper of accounts” of the vanished world of Eastern European Jewish culture. On stage, the ghosts of Irena’s story come to life through a range of characters, movement, and choral interpretation. The actors are accompanied by an original score created and performed by renowned musicians percussionist Barbara Borden and Susanne DiVincenzo on cello and bass.
