LeoWeekly - …ShPIel, Bunbury, and Los Angeles-based independent artist Casey Adler have created and curated a sprawling assemblage of live-streaming and pre-recorded plays (some full length, some in excerpts) and roundtables that runs this week, Thursday through Sunday. And as nearly as I can tell — and much to my surprise — TEATRON seems to be the only theater festival in the country that describes itself as a festival of Jewish theater, a rubric that brings together a program of astonishing breadth and diversity.
NewCityStage - Like Jewish history, Jewish theater is ultimately about survival, physical and cultural, often against the odds. Looking at the lineup of Teatron 2021—a virtual festival of Jewish theater that runs June 24-27—the theme of struggle and resilience in a dangerous world underlies many of the plays, including one piece based on a work originally staged in a Nazi concentration camp. The festival—organized by David Chack, artistic director of Chicago-based ShPIel Performing Arts Identity, along with Casey J. Adler, an independent LA-based theater producer, and Louisville’s Bunbury Theatre—is itself a testament to the resourcefulness and survival skills of the theater community at a tough moment.
