YENTL
Isaac Bashevis Singer's captivating story in its first Yiddish-
language stage production.
Starring Tony-nominated Eleanor Reissa
Directed by Robert Kalfin
Folksbiene's Yiddish "Yentl" stars Eleanor Reissa in the inspiring role of Yentl, a rabbi's daughter whose thirst for learning is so great she circumvents Talmudic law by disguising herself as a man in order to realize her full potential as a human being. "Yentl" was an English-language stage adaptation by Singer and co-author Leah Napolin of Singer's 1950's story, "Yentl the Yeshiva Boy," originally penned in Yiddish. It went on to further fame when it was adapted into a Hollywood musical, which Barbra Streisand starred in, directed, and produced.
