TJT begins its 30th Anniversary Season with a revival of this award-winning play.

Hosted by a pair of irreverent, lost Jewish comedians, the story follows a mythical “Last” Yiddish poet on a journey through his own past. In it, audiences will recognize all the elements that have made TJT synonymous with adventurous and powerful theatre: vivid characters leapfrogging through a landscape full of humor and deep emotion; music, giant puppets and dynamic physicality.

Musical Direction by local Balkan and Klezmer favorite, Dan Cantrell.
