Controversy, Censorship, and Klezmer: Jewish Theatre from “God of Vengeance” to “Indecent”

A Special Free Event Co-Presented by Center Theatre Group and Stephen Wise Temple that took place on June 3, 2019 In 1907, the Polish Jewish writer Sholem Asch premiered a groundbreaking piece of Yiddish theatre that would be produced around the world, get translated into English, stir hearts, change lives, and cause decades of controversy, including landing a troupe of Broadway actors in jail. The story of that play, “God of Vengeance,” is at the heart of the critically acclaimed Broadway hit “Indecent,” which won two Tony Awards® and was nominated for Best Play. Where, how, and why did Asch create “God of Vengeance,” and how has it continued to reverberate for over a century? Why did it inspire Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel to create a new work that celebrates klezmer music, the Yiddish language, and the power of art? Join us for a discussion of a century of Jewish theatre, from “God of Vengeance” to “Indecent.”’ Featured Panelists: —Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Indecent —Miri Koral, Executive Director of the California Institute for Yiddish Culture and Language —Shane Baker, Director of the Congress for Jewish Culture and Yiddish scholar, translator, director, and actor Center Theatre Group's production of “Indecent” is onstage at the Ahmanson Theatre June 5 – July 7, 2019.
