Talk:Yiddish theatre

message: Cut from article:
:Our knowledge of the actual material of the early years of Yiddish theatre is very limited. In particular, according to Lulla Rosenfeld, none of the elaborate operettas that were the most popular plays in the first decades of Yiddish theater survive; not even Abraham Goldfaden's Shmendrik, a mainstay of Yiddish theater for fifty years. [Adler, 1999, 318 (commentary)]
I originally put that there, but I'm not sure I believe it. I know that the Foksbiene in New York as performed at least significant excerpts from Goldfaden operettas. Rosenfeld is a pretty good source, but this wouldn't be the first time I've seen her be wrong about something. Can anyone give an account of the degree to which 19th century Yiddish operettas survive? -- Jmabel | Talk 07:59, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
I intend to edit and make slight adjustments to this page. Under the initial heading I plan to add names and examples of specific playwrights. Along with these examples, I will contribute basic elements that identify Jewish theatre as its own entity, emphasizing the importance of music, ancestral ties, and nostalgic stories in Yiddish productions. Under the "Yiddish Theatre in London" I will amend slight bias shown toward Yiddish theatre in London, removing words like 'best.' Along with this change, I will add concrete details that tie the Jewish theatrical principles specifically to London. In the final section regarding the Americas, I would like to add information about Yiddish contributions to American theatre, especially Broadway, with musicals such as Fiddler on the Roof. I also will include more examples of major producers and playwrights from the Americas. I plan to pull all my edits from the source Nostalgia in Jewish-American Theatre and Film, 1979-2004 by Ben Furnish, Peter Lang Publishing 2005, and add this book to the references page. If anyone has any comments or advice about my editing and added content, I would appreciate the feedback.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kellan120400 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Really thorough article.  One thing it could use is a wikiquotes page link that had some quotes from Yiddish theatre.  Other than that I'm stumped on what could make it better.  Peace, --Urthogie 14:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
