Artists and performers from around the world join National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene (NYTF) to celebrate Purim virtually from February 22-25. The Purim Celebration features a star-studded line-up of Yiddish music, cabaret and a special reading of the Megiles Ester (The Book of Ester) in Yiddish.
“Amid the pandemic, National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene is reaching audiences both close to home and around the world through dynamic and innovative programs that enlighten, that entertain and that celebrate our culture,” said Zalmen Mlotek, artistic director.
Each event is available “on-demand” from its start time here. Hava Tequila Cabaret is available for limited time starting February 24 at 7 p.m. ET through Sunday February 28 at 7 p.m. ET. All other programs will remain on the website with free access.
“Purim is a period for joyous celebration, so we’re proud to celebrate with an exceptional group of young performers who are part of the Folksbiene community—and in doing so, connect with communities from near and far,” Dominick Balletta, executive director, added.
