As soon as it came into being in the late 19th century, the modern Jewish theatre became a vital form of self-expression. Yiddish theatre at the turn of the 20th century addressed every major issue confronting the Jewish people, including persecution, economic deprivation, modernization, and mass migration.? Ever since then, Jewish artists working in Yiddish, Hebrew, English, and other languages have used the theatre to explore a vast range of experiences in just as wide a range of styles and forms.?Jewish dramatists and performers built theatrical cultures from the ground up in Hebrew and Yiddish in a matter of decades, and have contributed significantly to the drama throughout much of Europe and the Americas.? Written work for the course will consist of several short essays and a longer term paper. Only one of A?Thr?458 and A?Jst 458?may be taken for credit.
