New Worlds Theatre Project is a 501 (c ) 3 not for profit theatre company committed to giving voice to the extraordinary legacy of authentic Yiddish culture by making early 20th century Yiddish plays accessible to diverse contemporary artists and audiences in modern English adaptations. We translate, adapt and present these plays in English for the first time so that they can be judged on stages across the globe alongside plays coming from other cultural legacies. Exploring the human condition through the eyes of young, Jewish intellectuals questioning their place in the universe, the timeless and universal themes in these plays reflect a tension between tradition and modernity that will continue to speak to diverse artists and audiences for generations to come.
