Our Beneficiaries
Seltzer Nights
Our Heritage non-profit Jewish organization is supporting the production of a new contemporary comedy with music that is a heartfelt evocation of New York’s bustling Yiddish theater district, Second Avenue, in the early 20th Century. The immersive Yiddish vaudeville Seltzer Nights featuring a score by Josh Dolgin is packed with evocations of the New York in its immigrant heyday. The show is currently in development in Minneapolis. A workshop production in the winter will be announced.
A New Museum of Yiddish Theater
Our Heritage is a cornerstone partner of a new initiative to create a museum of the Yiddish theater led by the Hebrew Actors Union Foundation. The Foundation is announcing a capital campaign to build this museum in the old Hebrew Actors Union clubhouse on East 7th Street – in the heart of the old Second Avenue theater district and currently home to numerous Ukrainian businesses and institutions.
Our Heritage is proud to be on the ground floor of this important preservation project with immense cultural benefit.
