Who Were Once Involved with the Yiddish
Stage
Volume 3
Please click on the link for the
individual or troupe that you would like to learn more about.
You can also use the table below to find a person's
surname or the name of a troupe that begins with that letter.
For each individual, the town or city of their birth, when included within the
biography, is listed in parentheses next to their name.
Note also that there are indications
at the end of most translated biographies here that end in "M. E."
or "Sh. E.", which are often followed by the name of an individual(s). The initials "M. E."
(in Yiddish: "mindlekher entfert," which means "oral reply") indicate that the answers/biographical
information given
by the person(s) supplying the biographical information were given
orally; "Sh. E." (in Yiddish: "shriftlekher entfert,"
which means "written reply") indicates that the responses were written ones.
