A
Two-Play Repertoire
Ida Kaminska and her
troupe from The Jewish State Theatre of Poland played at Manhattan's Billy Rose Theatre, which
was located at 208 West 41st Street.
They first played
Jacob Gordin's "Mirele Efros," then "Mother Courage"
by Bertolt Bracht. They played in the evenings from
Tuesday through Saturday and on Sunday afternoon.
The first performance
of "Mirele Efros" was on October 19, 1967. "Mirele
Efros" played at various times until The Jewish
State Theatre of Poland completed its tour of New
York City on December 24 of that year.
The first performance
of "Mother Courage" was played on November 16.
Originally scheduled to begin on October 27, it was
delayed due to a dock strike, which delayed the
delivery of the necessary scenery.
