Shlemiel the First Sneak Peak

Uploaded by nyuskirball on Dec 12, 2011
Shlemiel the First is an award-winning klezmer musical based on a play of the same name by Isaac Bashevis Singer, about a holy fool sent on an ill-conceived errand that subsequently transforms the inhabitants of his impoverished village. It features a live band, on-stage costume changes, and cross-dressing necessitated by the fact that many of the actors play multiple roles (some of the men even play their own wives). Shlemiel the First will run at NYU Skirball December 13-31, it is the longest run of a single show for our 2011-12 Season.
Shlemiel has been significantly reworked since it was originally co-produced by the American Repertory Theater in 1994. This current production comes courtesy of a collaboration between NYU Skirball, The National Yiddish Theatre-Folksbiene, Theatre for a New Audience, or TFANA and Peak Performances at Montclair.
During the last week of rehearsals at The New 42nd Street Studios, I dropped in on the Shlemiel cast and crew and asked them to describe their specific roles within the overall production. The individuals featured are (in order of appearance): Kristine Zbornik, Amy Warren, Jeff Brooks, Michael Iannucci, Aaron Netsky, Stephen Cain and Michael Larsen. We hope that you'll be enticed to come see them live on the NYU Skirball Stage this month!
