STATELESS is a play about performers and the power of collaboration. The show is a multi-media collage of hip-hop performance, vaudeville, magic tricks, comedy, history and folks songs that bend time, connecting these contemporary performers to a famous German-Jewish vaudeville troupe from the 1920’s, The Gebrueder Wolf. This play comes on the heels of the incredible success of Wolf’s Angry Black White Boy that played to sold out houses and had multiple extensions at Intersection For The Arts.
“Who knew vaudeville and hip-hop could work so well together? Then again, why not?” -Robert Hurwitt from the San Francisco Chronicle
‘”Stateless,’ …represents a fascinating model not just of successful creative collaboration, but of the possibilities of engaging young Jews.”- By Dan Schifrin from The Jewish Week

You’re the TRAVELLING Jewish Theatre, right? So, when might you start travelling down to the Peninsula again? There are lots of people down here who would like to see your plays….
We loved the show - Stateless. I’ve never seen a show that intertwines such different & seemingly opposing genres in such a seamless and creative way. Kudos to the writers and actors. Keep our subscription coming…

If you like Jewish entertainment of the 1920s, you might like Brendan McNally’s dark comic novel “Germania” (Simon & Schuster, 2009), about the Flying Magical Loerber Brothers, four somewhat magical, Jewish vaudeville entertainers and onetime child stars who were the toast of Berlin before WWII and who reunite during the surreal, three-week “Flensburg Reich” of Admiral Doenitz, Hitler’s very unlucky successor.
