Shtick! A Queer Play on Yiddish Vaudeville.
World Premiere
April 29-May 23 1999
EXTENDED THROUGH JUNE 13!
Written and performed by Sara Felder
A young Jew sailing from Warsaw dons a pair of trousers and ponders the wonders of Amerike. A queer performance artist, shamelessly in love with Yiddishkeit, reaches back across the century for a kiss. In this new provocative comedy, San Francisco’s best-loved Jewish lesbian juggler turns an insightful eye and sharp wit to the great questions of our time: identity, sexuality and rubber chickens.
“A local performance treasure”
- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Examiner
“Felder mixes clowning form and emotional content in a way rarely seen: healthy, life-affirming, funny and real.”
- San Francisco Bay Times
