Glückel is unlike anything you’ve seen at ATJT. In fact, the production is so huge – with five actors, oversized costumes, giant puppets, stilt-walking, and live music – that it can’t fit on ATJT’s stage. ATJT has made special arrangements to present Glückel for six performances only in Berkeley at the Julia Morgan Theater.

Adapted by Jenny Romaine, with the participation of Adrienne Cooper, the acclaimed interpreter of Yiddish vocal music, and Frank London of The Klezmatics, The Memoirs of Glückel of Hameln delighted audiences at the 1997 Toronto Ashkenaz festival and the 1998 Los Angeles Yiddishkayt! festival. Bay area premiere!
