SUMMARY:Tevye’s Daughters
DESCRIPTION:American Lyric Theater partners with the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust to present a concert of Tevye’s Daughters – a new opera by Alex Weiser and Stephanie Fleischmann. Inspired by the darker\, grittier stories by Sholem Aleichem not included in Fiddler on the Roof\, Tevye’s Daughters centers on the tale of the beloved milkman’s younger daughter Shprintse\, who falls in love with a young man above her station. Like so many women of her generation\, Shprintse has no choice but to navigate her crisis in silence. Galvanized by the literature of little-known female Yiddish writers\, as well as tkhines – Yiddish prayers designated expressly for women – Tevye’s Daughters rewrites that silence\, giving voice to a generation of women whose stories have frequently been suppressed\, omitted\, and even erased. The opera moves between a shtetl in Ukraine in 1907 and a summer cabin in the Catskills in 1964 as Tseytl\, Khave\, and Beykle\, now old women\, haunted by a vestigial memory submerged for more than half a century\, can no longer look away from the past. The arrival of Rose\, a granddaughter grappling with her own sexual identity\, incites the sisters not only to remember Shprintse’s traumatic story\, but to come to terms with their shared tumultuous present.

SUMMARY:Herstorical Happy Hour: Star Spangled Sipper - Liberty 250® Program
DESCRIPTION:Interactive craft cocktail class hosted by pop historian\, comedian and certified mixologist\, Jacey Powers. This unique event combines one-part humor\, one-part history and shakes them up for a perfectly blended celebration of fascinating women in history\, worthy of raising a glass to.  As we approach America’s 250th birthday\, we’ll look at the story behind our nation’s most enduring symbol: the United States Flag. We’ve all heard the story of Betsy Ross\, but is it fact or an American fable? Together we’ll untangle the tale and shake up a historic cocktail inspired by the recipes and drinking culture of colonial America. This high-energy happy hour will illuminate the way we tell women’s stories with every guest learning a little and laughing a lot.

SUMMARY:“All in the Telling – a somewhat true story” with Saul Rubinek
DESCRIPTION:Saul Rubinek’s novel All in The Telling – a somewhat true story\, weaves together a true story of miraculous survival\, a murder mystery\, an operatic family drama\, and undying romance. When Saul falls in love with a non-Jewish woman\, he discovers his immigrant\, Holocaust survivor parents are not as “cool with it” as he said they’d be. Their reaction is biblical. Desperate to fix his relationship with his parents\, he lies and tells them he’s writing a book about their story of love and survival. In chronicling their lives\, Saul discovers their extraordinary loyalty and bravery – but also the lies\, secrets\, and deceptions buried in his family’s past. Rubinek will perform excerpts of his book. The reading includes clips from his documentary film So Many Miracles\, in which Saul took his parents back to Poland in 1986 to have a reunion with the Polish farmers that had hidden them for two and a half years during the Holocaust.
