The Invisible Theatre presents AN EVENING OF SHOLOM ALEICHEM, starring Murray Horwitz. In his one-man show, Horwitz recreates the gentle humor of Sholom Aleichem, "The Jewish Mark Twain" through vignettes, building an imaginary Russian village on a foundation of chuckles, conjuring up a stage full of unseen characters through the magic of his heart-warming and soul searching storytelling. Sholom Aleichem, the pen name of Solomon Rabinowitz, was the watchword for laughter among the Jewish people throughout the world at the turn of the century. While his characters are Jewish, they are not strangers. We all have met the characters that Horwitz creates with his rib-tickling tales. And the show's theme is universal; it is a call for humanism, an appeal that recognizes no boundaries.

Murray Horwitz and Susan Claassen
