Kids & Yiddish: The Reunion Special is produced by National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, with Avram Mlotek (Co-Director/Executive Producer) and Elisha Mlotek (Co-Director/Executive Producer); Zalmen Mlotek (Musical Director); Michael Winograd (Audio Supervisor); and Joanne H Borts (Script Consultant and Original Direction).
Kids and Yiddish was originally a concert created by Zalmen Mlotek with Adrienne Cooper, Joanne H Borts and Michael Fox for the Workmen’s Circle in 1993. In 1998 Joanne H Borts teamed up with Mlotek and Michael Fox to create a show that was modeled after Saturday Night Live and Sesame Street. It was then presented every year for about 12 years at the National Yiddish Theatre-Folksbiene. With glowing reviews in The New York Times, the NYTF created a CD called “Kids and Yiddish A Musical Adventure.” The original cast was just the four original creators but in subsequent theatrical versions produced by the NYTF, children were added along with more actors and musicians, most of whom are joining for this online reunion special.
