Headlining a year-long calendar of events celebrating Kadimah’s 110 years of continuous theatre, language and cultural programs, Yentl featured emerging actor Jana Zvedeniuk, whose Russian/Israeli/Yiddish background make her an undeniable choice for her first major role, alongside award-winning actor Evelyn Krape (King Lear, The Ghetto Cabaret, Female Parts).
“It’s a story about identity, and about the danger and bravery of creating one’s identity when you have to fight against the status quo of the world around you.”
