The Last Night at the Cabaret Yitesh (Canada/Germany/Austria/USA) November 9 & 10 | 7pm Norman & Annette Rothstein Theatre
Chutzpah! is proud to present The Last Night at the Cabaret Yitesh (di letste nakht baym yitesh) , an uproariously edgy show from the New York Times best-selling author and celebrated Canadian Yiddishist Michael Wex . Set in spring of 1938, the censor’s office has just advised the performers in Warsaw’s Yiddish-language “Cabaret Yitesh” that tonight’s show will be their last. With visas to leave the country and nothing left to lose, the performers decide to present material that the censors had already forbidden, along with the cabaret’s greatest hits and most famous skits. Join Chutzpah! and our all-star international cast, including Shane Baker , Daniel Kahn , Regina Hopfgartner , Patrick Farrell , and Sasha Lurje , for an evening of cabaret songs from the ’30s, original comedy sketches, and Yiddish adaptations of international hits and vaudeville and drag classics. In Yiddish with English supertitles.
