SUMMARY:Performing Exile: The Impact of Jews and Judaism on Theatre and Performance with David Chack
DESCRIPTION:Jewish culture has contributed immensely to theatre and performance of all kinds in this country. Some would say that “Broadway” is a Jewish legacy. What is it that has drawn Jews so inordinately to the theatre and performance? To answer this\, we will look at Yiddish Theatre\, playwrights such as Arthur Miller and Tony Kushner; musicals such as West Side Story\, Fiddler on the Roof\, and Indecent; and humor such as the work of Mel Brooks\, Joan Rivers\, Gilda Radner\, and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” — continuing to ask why have Jews and Jewish culture made performance a home in exile. This exploration will take place in the Wiener Room as well as on Zoom. \nDavid Y. Chack is Founding Producing Artistic Director of ShPIeL-Performing Identity Theatre in Louisville\, Chicago\, and Los Angeles and a professor in Theatre Arts at DePaul University in Chicago. He has directed and produced in New York\, Boston\, Chicago\, and Los Angeles. David has a B.F.A in theatre from N.Y.U. and Circle-in-the Square Theatre on Broadway. He is a theatre consultant for the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center. \nMembers\, register here. \nGuests\, register here. \n  \nBeth Emet uses budgeted funds and fees to support our adult education program. This year\, instead of individual registration fees for specific classes\, our goal is to secure $4\,000 in donations to cover our costs. Please consider an optional donation to the adult education fund when you register to help sustain our commitment to lifelong learning.
