And another info from the Yiddish world, for anyone interested in theater (copy/paste from the website) :

Wednesday, July 23, 7:00-8:00 pm
"Yiddish Shakespeare"

With Professor Joel Berkowitz and the Yiddish Shakespeare Project
Conversation in English with some subtitled Yiddish video clips

Did you know that “Vilyam Shekspir” dazzled audiences on the Lower East Side and quickly became a staple of the Yiddish theatrical repertory? For over 100 years, Yiddish translators and performers have made the Bard’s words their own, imbuing them with elements of Jewish culture and resilience. Join us on zoom, where acclaimed theater scholar Joel Berkowitz will guide us through this rich and sometimes wildly inventive part of Yiddish history before introducing us to members of the Yiddish Shakespeare Project, fresh off a series of sold-out shows. There will be time at the end for audience members to ask their own questions.

This event is free but donations to support our Yiddish programming are welcome.

"Das Entscheidende am Theater ist die Liebe" Claus Peymann

"Er selbst bezeichnete sich als "Reißzahn im Arsch der Mächtigen", das Berliner Ensemble als sein "Traumtheater".
Bis zu seinem Abschied im Sommer 2017 feierte er in dem einstigen Brecht-Theater am Schiffbauerdamm mehrere Zuschauerrekorde. Bei seiner Abschiedsrede vom Berliner Ensemble sagte der damals 80-Jährige: "Das Entscheidende am Theater ist die Liebe.""

Today in Labor and Writing History July 10, 1925: The Scopes "Monkey Trial" Trial began in Dayton, Tennessee. John T. Scopes was a high school science teacher accused of violating the Butler Act, which made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school. Scopes was found guilty and fined $100, but the verdict was overturned on a technicality. Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee wrote about it in their play “Inherit the Wind” (1955). However, they said that their play was a response to the McCarthy anticommunist witch hunt and a statement in support of free speech. Ronald Kidd's 2006 novel, “Monkey Town: The Summer of the Scopes Trial,” was also based on the Scopes Trial. Scopes was defended by labor Clarence Darrow, who had defended Eugene Debs, during the Pullman strike (1893); and Big Bill Haywood against false murder charges (1905); and the McNamara brothers for the false charges in the L.A. Times bombing (1910).

For CascadePBS' Black Arts Legacies, we profiled playwright and performer Andrew Lee Creech rehearsing monologues his plays in a practice space at Seattle's ACT Contemporary Theatre. I helped produce the stills portion of the shoot for photographer Meron Menghistab (seen in image 3) and photographed some details and behind-the-scenes images to fill out the final profile. Alll five seasons of the project are available on the Black Arts Legacies and CascadePBS websites.

Wer in #Berlin lebt und die Gegenwart nur schwer erträgt, sehe sich am #DeutschesTheater #Prauenheims "Insel der Perversen" an. Ich befürchtete Kabarettkost, aber das Stück ist ein wohltuend irrer Blick auf Deutschland und die Welt, der vor den Illusionen und mancher Selbstgefälligkeit der Kunst nicht halt macht. Diese reflexive Ebene hebt es über übliches Zeitgenossen-Theater hinaus, dazu die sehr souveräne (und lustige!) Klaviatur der Avantgarden. Kurzweilige, stärkende 2 Stunden. #theater
