As the foremost scholars of Jewish Heterosexuality Studies, GLYK returns to our exploration of heterosexual camp in Nokhamol di ekhte balebostes: on shmalts un on zalts!, from Barbie to Brecht. Featuring Jane Rose's scathingly contemporary 1914 one-act Engshaft, the Jewish Wife newly translated into Yiddish, the first-ever normal take on Jewish Motherhood, and a little bris mila khadosha (audience participation encouraged).

In Yiddish, with supertitles.


GLYK is Corbin Allardice, Ethan Fraenkel, Ruth Geye, Yasha Giner, Kopl-Bear Hirsch, Dylan Seders Hoffman, Sophie Hurwitz, Daria Kerschenbaum, Sophie Kreitzberg, Andryusha Kuznetsov, Ruby Lee Lowenstein, Ella Meranus, Lonnie Miller, Jay Saper, Kostya Shapiro-Tchourine, Beila Ungar, Mikhl Yashinsky, & many more writers, directors, and performers who have come together to create new, queer, Yiddish theatre.
