Description

The words of Bernard Malamud will explode into vivid theatrical life when TJT brings his two most celebrated stories to the stage in the style of the Word for Word Performing Arts Company. The Magic Barrel, centers on a hapless rabbinical student's encounter with a mysterious, herring-eating matchmaker. And The Jewbird, is Malamud's darkly hilarious fable of assimilation and identity.

"2 x Malamud" will be performed in the style of the Word for Word Performing Arts Company. No words from the original stories are omitted. Instead, each entire story including narrative and dialogue is brought to life in a theatrical format.

Seating is general admission.
The theater opens for seating a half hour prior to showtime.

"The rapport of the actors with their characters cuts so deep that the play bristles with life and breathtaking eccentricity. The physical specificity of the performances is as acute as the cadence of the language...

burnished to the point of perfection..."

-Karen d'Souza, San Jose Mercury-News
