Israeli Play Reading - The Disabled (ISRAEL 75)

By Gur Koren
Translated and adapted to English by Alon Pdut
Comedy A theater group of people with disabilities does not manage to raise the funds it requires to represent Israel at a theater festival for the disabled in Macedonia. Help comes in the form of a crime family with drug smuggling interests that has to ship an especially large consignment to… Macedonia. The impossible partnership between the criminals and the disabled actors – who are in the middle of rehearsing Romeo and Juliet – leads to some zany and absurd situations.

Sunday, March 26, 3:00 - 5:00 pm

Second Avenue to Broadway: A Jewish Legacy

Broadway Musicals began in the Lower east side of Manhattan on Second Avenue with the Yiddish Theater. The concert takes the audience on a musical journey from lower Manhattan to the lights of Broadway. Some of the greatest composers and writers of the Broadway musicals were created by America’s pre-eminent Jewish composers including Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin, Jerry Herman, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, Sheldon Harnick, Jerry Bock, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jule Styne, and John Kander. These remarkable songwriters were purveyors of what we think of today as the Broadway sound, but they were also telling America's stories of becoming American. The Lower East Side theaters ultimately led these composers to create a range of shows that tapped into the American consciousness including Porgy and Bess, West Side Story and Cabaret. This concert is performed with a 10-piece Broadway orchestra and four actors. Ensemble: Klezmer Company Jazz Orchestra
