JTNY presents the Last Jew in Europe
The Jewish Theater of New York is presenting Last Jew in Europe about anti-Semitism
The show, written by Tuvia Tenenbom, won excellent notices by major critics on the continent. JTNY will to re-open Last Jew in Europe coming October 14.
Please note that The Jewish Theater of New York is a not-for-profit theater (501(c)3) and your contributions to it are tax-deductible.
Last Jew in Europe offers a very rewarding theatrical experience. Well written and well directed, it confronts the audience, through a series of fast paced situations and dialogues, with uncomfortable questions concerning prejudice, shame, identity, and cultural stereotypes. It makes people think about their own encounters with Judaism and anti-Semitism, with historical past and family traditions. I recommend it very highly.
— Professor Jan T. Gross, Princeton University.

Cervantes en el Teatro Rodante Puertorriqueño
Cervantes in the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater
Comenzando el próximo jueves 4 de agosto el TEATRO RODANTE PUERTORRIQUEÑO, en celebración de su cuadragésimo aniversario (40), comenzará las presentaciones de dos entremeses de uno de los más celebrados escritores del mundo, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
La obras escogidas, ENTREMES DE REFRANES y EL JUEZ DE LOS DIVORCIOS, son dos piezas breves e irreverentes, donde Cervantes dramatiza con picardía y humor ligeramente misógino, la vida de la gente común de aquella época.
Un reparto de destacados artistas latinos ha sido escogido para la interpretación de los roles e incluye (en orden alfabético) a CLAUDIO ALBERIO, DAMARIS CABRERA, JONATHAN FLOREZ, ALICIA KAPLAN, HECTOR PALACIOS, RICARDO SALAZAR, WILLIAM SAQUICELA Y FULVIA VERGEL. JOSEAN ORTIZ, destacado actor y director puertorriqueño ha sido contratado como Director. MIRIAM COLÓN VALLE, fundadora del Teatro Rodante Puertorriqueño es la productora.
Las obras se interpretarán en español y se proveerá una sinopsis para el público de habla inglesa.
Para más información llamar a MIOSOTIS VARGAS-Coordinadora de la Comunidad al 212-354-1293.
