Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre, Yiddish theatre company at Segal Centre for Performing Arts in Montreal, Canada
The Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre presents performances predominantly in Yiddish language, featuring both classic and contemporary Jewish theatrical productions throughout the year.
Founded in 1958 by Ukrainian-Canadian actress Dora Wasserman, the theatre emerged from her initial Yiddish Drama Group and found its permanent location at Saidye Bronfman Centre.
The theatre maintains Yiddish language traditions through performances, adaptations of literary works, and educational programs that connect audiences with Jewish heritage.
Performances include English and French supertitles, making productions accessible to audiences regardless of their familiarity with the Yiddish language.
Between 1974 and 1988, the theatre produced six adaptations of Isaac Bashevis Singer works, including notable productions of Yentl and Gimpel The Fool.
