Jewish Warsaw's decadent, politically charged and hyper creative cabaret scene between the Wars is brought to stirring life in Kleynkunst! Warsaw's Brave and Brilliant Yiddish Cabaret. The show co-stars Rebecca Joy Fletcher and Stephen Mo Hanan in an exclusive 7-week engagement at The JCC in Manhattan (334 Amsterdam Avenue) that runs from November 18 through December 30.  The official opening is on Thursday November 29 at 7:30PM.

Researched, written and originally produced by Fletcher, with stage direction by Michael Montel, Kleynkunst! is an original theatre performance piece filled with authentic period theatre songs and political satire.  It spans the years 1921 to 1941.

Performed bi-lingually in English and Yiddish, Kleynkunst! is made fully accessible to non-Yiddish speakers through the use of simultaneous English supertitles when Yiddish is spoken or sung.  Russian supertitles are also projected throughout for Russian speakers. Tickets, which are $40 and $50 are available via Ticket Central,  by phone at (212) 279-4200 or online at www.ticketcentral.com.
