KIDS & YIDDISH: THE MISHEGAS CONTINUES (A MUSICAL REVUE)
SYNOPSIS: Kids & Yiddish: The Mishegas Continues is a wildly entertaining, family-friendly Jewish-themed show! A New York Times critic’s pick, Kids & Yiddish introduces children to the Yiddish language through Billboard chart-topping songs and pop culture in the style of Sesame Street meets Saturday Night Live. 90% English. 10% Yiddish. 100% FUN!
We are seeking performers with strong vocal skills, dance training and a working acquaintance with Yiddish or a great ear for language. Tumbling, juggling and puppetry experience is a plus. Playing a musical instrument is a plus (especially piano, clarinet, accordion, guitar, and/or drums) KIDS AND YIDDISH is performed mainly in English with about ten percent of the show performed in Yiddish.
