A Comic Tale Full of Song, Wit and Meshugene Antics
Before the Marx Brothers, there was "Hershele", a beloved
folk hero and compassionate jester who battles injustice
armed only with his wits. In this comic tale full of song,
Hershele mobilizes a community to overcome the greedy
desires of a villain who stands in the way of young love. The
lively music and "meshugene" antics will inspire gales of
laughter, set toes tapping and make for a truly memorable
evening at the theater.
