MCNY – Yiddish Theatre Exhibit

It was my first time visiting the MCNY, and although I couldn’t visit any part of the museum besides the Yiddish Theatre exhibit, I was really intrigued and in awe of how elegant and fancy the museum was. From the Yiddish Theatre exhibit, there were many pictures and items that had caught my attention. One of my favorites was the stage and proscenium design for Kulturbund Production of Bronx Express from 1935. This was interesting to me because i thought it was fascinating to think about how they have preserved an 80+ year old piece of art. I was also amused by the picture of Frank Sinatra and his agent posing with posters of Yiddish stars Menasha Skulnik and Miriam Kressyn. This was interesting to me just simply because I am a huge fan of Frank Sinatra.
