"By the twentieth century, various collections of stories- even novels- spread the wisdom of the wise men of Chelm throughout the world. But the women of Chelm, only now and then, could be seen peeking out from behind the long black coats of the men."

The Women of Chelm step out from the shadows in this staged adaptation of Jenny Tango's 1991 artist's book Women of Chelm. This Mother's Day weekend, real-life mother-daughter duo Suzanne Bernstein and Miryam Coppersmith bring the eccentric women of Jenny's world to life through theater, dance, music and puppets! All are welcome.

A One-Woman Cabal! Bringing in different stories every night, this semi-improvised dance/theater show journeys through Miryam Coppersmith’s reclamation of Yiddish and the whitening process that squeezed it out of Ashkenazi Jewry in the first place. Go beyond schlep and kvetch!

Mirele Lernt Zich Yiddish premiered in Philadelphia’s Cannonball Festival in September 2023. After the standing-room-only final show, Cannonball invited Miryam back to present an encore performance. The Philadelphia Dance Journal lauded the show as “a must-see performance.” It has since been performed in Catskill, NY and Phoenix, AZ
