Hester Street - Segal Centre

Événement

A Segal Centre presentation of a Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre production A Play with Music by Sharyn Rothstein With Original Music and Songs by Joel Waggoner Based on the film by Joan Micklin Silver and the novella Yekl by Abraham Cahan Jun 16-27, 2027 A love story caught between tradition and reinvention Based on the landmark film Hester Street, this Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre production plunges us into the Jewish immigrant experience on New York’s Lower East Side in the 1890s, where survival, ambition, and identity collide inside the smallest of homes. When Gitl arrives from Europe to join her husband, she expects the man she married. Instead, she finds a stranger who has reinvented himself, ashamed of his roots and hungry for acceptance in a new world. Trapped between tradition and reinvention, their marriage becomes a test of loyalty, desire, and endurance. Praised as “even deeper than the beloved 1975 movie version” by The Washington Post, this powerful stage adaptation brings urgency, intimacy, and emotional force to a story about assimilation that still resonates today. How much of yourself would you give up to belong? Find out, on Hester Street.

CULTURE MONTRÉAL EN CARTE

About this map

Montréal has a rich cultural offering, but information is scattered across websites, social networks, noticeboards and posters. Getting an overview can be difficult. Montréal en culture aims to simplify discovery by bringing cultural activities together in all their variety. The project is also inspired, with some nostalgia, by the weekly calendar of the cultural magazine View, which featured a varied offering, from shows to talks and from popular events to more unconventional activities. Adding a map, Montréal en culture invites you to explore that richness across the city. Still a prototype, this independent project aims to become an essential reference for cultural outings in Montréal.

The site was originally designed for desktop use. A mobile interface is now available.

A broad understanding of culture

The directory takes a broad view of culture: artistic creation, presentation, heritage, knowledge sharing, and opportunities for discovery or participation. It covers the Montréal urban agglomeration, including its associated islands. Its scope develops with the sources and activities recorded.
