The Yiddish theater developed as a uniquely American form in the Eastern European Jewish
immigrant community in New York City, and other urban centers, during the early twentieth
century. The 77 unpublished manuscripts presented here include light comedies and dramas, and
have been selected from the 1,200 copyright-deposit plays housed in the Hebraic Section of the
African and Middle Eastern Division.
