Open Theater Workshop Presents: The Dybbuk, or Between Two Worlds

The Dybbuk by S. An-sky (written 1913-1916) is a gothic romance between two young lovers, a mythological tale about a broken promise, and a folkloric snapshot of Jewish life in the Pale of Settlement as interpreted by writer and ethnographer An-sky. Incorporating klezmer music, Yiddish folk dance, and shadow puppets based on traditional paper cutting, this community-focused production of the rarely staged Russian-Yiddish play will be the culmination of an innovative, year-long creative process that began with a series of free theater workshops hosted by Philadelphia's Open Theater Workshop.

Please note, we will hold a preview on Wednesday the 12 - all tickets for this showing will be PWYC at the door.

Show is 2 hours long with one intermission.
