Presented by Sarasota Jewish Theatre at The Sarasota Players, inside the Crossings at Siesta Key mall, 3501 South Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239.“The Whole Megillah: The Story of The Yiddish Theatre” covers the moment of its birth in Rumania in 1876, to its rapid spread across the Western Hemisphere, to its meteoric flowering into a Golden Age, a flowering that would last but a few short decades – and carry the seeds of its own destruction. It’s an amazing story, full of twists and turns that are – like Yiddish theatre itself – sometimes outrageous, sometimes poignant, but always melodramatic.
Charles Troy squeezes these twists and turns into one packed program – the whole megillah – punctuated by klezmer music that mirrors the soul of a vibrant but distant era. Charles is an acclaimed musical theatre historian and graphic designer who has created over 60 multimedia presentations and has appeared before countless local and national audiences.
General admission: $15. Tickets at ThePlayers.org or 941-365-2494.
