Established in 1915, the National Yiddish Theater Folksbiene, "the people's stage," became the nation's first social theater by giving voice to an underserved population of immigrant artists and audiences.
NYTF's unique programming celebrates a rich cultural heritage brought to this country from far and wide, preserving a way of life nearly destroyed seventy-five years ago. Additionally, NYTF provides the only opportunity in the United States to see classical Yiddish performances in the same style as Lower East Side Second Avenue.
NYTF aims to bring Jewish culture closer to a secular world by connecting the arts to heritage, identity, and global citizenship. Through strategic programming in theater, music, and education, NYTF provides access to familiar and new culture, enriching cultural identity and broadening cultural awareness.
For 109 years, NYTF has provided high-quality cultural programming, earning eight Drama Desk Award nominations and one special Drama Desk Award.
