S1E04 Boris Tomashevsky and the Vagabond Stars (feat. Nahma Sandrow)

In the final episode of the first season we will learn about Yiddish Theater coming to America in the late 19th century.  We sit down with scholar Nahma Sandrow author of Vagabond Stars: A World History of Yiddish Theater. We learn about a determined 14 year old boy who hatched an idea to put on a production of Avrom Goldfaden's The Sorceress. Yiddish theater in America had finally arrived.
