Here’s a delightful production of seven skits based on the short stories of Sholom Aleichem, the renowned Yiddish humorist best known for the popular Fiddler on the Roof. The pieces will transport your audience back to Sholom Aleichem’s birthplace of Ukraine and the tiny, fictional shtetl of Kasrilevkeh, where the residents laugh in the face of poverty, committed to their lifestyle, devoted to home, family and the cycle of religious holidays. Meet entertaining characters, such as Sholom Shachneh, the scatterbrain; Toppel Tootooreetoo, with an endearing speech defect who is teased by his schoolmates; Rochel, who runs a restaurant that is famous for the country’s worst service; and little Sholom, who craves for a pocketknife, obtains it and subsequently suffers the consequences. This charming work, which can be performed as one piece or as individual selections, is relative to children and adults of all age groups.
