Katsha'nes

In the height of the music-hall era, Jewish immigrant songwriters described their experiences in humorous, moving, feisty, irreverent and sexy Yiddish songs.

They give glimpses of an impoverished, energetic and conflicted community in a state of flux, trying to acculturate to their new home with a new culture, without losing their identity. Expect to cry, laugh, sing and heckle.
