ABOUT
These are stories which Sarah wrote about her family's life during the 1930's and early 1940's in the immortal Lower East Side. The show is filled with local color and nostalgia touching on such things as street life ("circus on the streets"), Coney Island and classic radio programs. There are also colorful characters like Sarah's father Hyman ("the tailor from coast to coast") and her cousin, Chaim , "the terror of the Lower East Side". The show is a wonderful mixture of laughter and poignancy. For adults and children over 10 yrs.
