The Sages of Chelm

A Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre Production

By Abraham Shulman
Music by Eli Rubinstein
Directed and choreographed by Trevor Barrette
Musical Direction by Nick Burgess

One of the DWYT’s most beloved musicals!
It is said that when Earth was created and the time came to fill it with people, an angel was chosen to deposit wise and foolish souls evenly over the land. But after getting caught on a mountaintop, the sack of foolish souls spilled out into the town of Chelm. This heart-warming, humourous, and musically rich production showcases the wisdom found in simplicity and is a loving tribute to Eastern European Jewish folklore.

“This is one of the DWYT’s best and most loved musicals. A legacy piece that celebrates the rich and distinguished history of Yiddish theatre.” – Lisa Rubin, Artistic Director
