Set in the early 1900s, KNISH ALLEY! tells the story of a poor troupe of Yiddish actors on board an ocean liner, as it crosses from England to America, who work menial jobs on the ship by day and perform operettas up on deck by night to earn their passage to a new and better life they hope awaits them on New York's lower east side, on Second Avenue, otherwise known as 'KNISH ALLEY!'
