The season opens with the Houston premiere of THE LAST YIDDISH SPEAKER, by Deborah Zoe Laufer. This production is the second of two co-productions with the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center of Houston, directed by Associate Artistic Director, Rhett Martinez, and running at the Evelyn Rubenstein JCC September 4-21, 2025. The Last Yiddish Speaker by Deborah Zoe Laufer is the winner of the 2024 Jewish Play Project, a National contest that identifies, develops, and presents new works of theater through one-of-a-kind explorations of contemporary Jewish identity between audiences, artists, and patrons. The play received a rolling premiere in April 2024 at Interact Theatre Company, Philadelphia. "The Last Yiddish Speaker," explores a dystopian future where a Christian nationalist regime has taken power after a successful insurrection. In this world, Jewish people like Paul and his daughter Sarah, must suppress their identity to survive, while a mysterious Yiddish-speaking woman, Chava, arrives on their doorstep, forcing them to confront their heritage and the dangers of remaining true to themselves.
Mildred's Umbrella Theater Company is at 5601 S Braeswood Blvd, Houston, TX 77096, Houston, TX.
