Philadelphia and svive Mendelyaner may be interested in the course I'm 
teaching this summer at Gratz College. It's an intensive one week course 
on the history of Yiddish theater that will run July 20-24. From the 
blurb:

This course surveys the history of Yiddish theater from its origins in 
premodern Jewish folkways into the present, from the popular theater of 
Avrom Goldfaden and New York's Second Avenue to the artistic achievements 
of the Vilna Troupe and the Moscow State Yiddish Theater. We will read 
theater history, study plays,and watch excerpts of performances.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm theater editor of the recently 
published YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe.

For further information, you can e-mail me. You can register at 
www.gratz.edu or by calling Hope Matles at 215 635 7300 x 172.
