Rexite on the Radio: Live from the Golden Age of NY's Yiddish Broadcasts
Come celebrate Khanike in Santa Monica!  Yiddishkayt is proud to present Mitch Smolkin in Rexite on the Radio: Live from the Golden Age of NY's Yiddish Broadcasts, for two performances on Sunday, December 13th, direct from its production at the National Yiddish Theater Folksbiene in New York.

In New York in the 1930s, there were over 23 radio stations broadcasting Yiddish programs but by the 1940s, one entertainer had become the King of Yiddish radio -- the heartthrob crooner Seymour Rexite.  At the height of his popularity, the smooth-as-scotch tenor starred on 18 radio shows a week.

This unique world and repertoire is brought to life by the exciting and gifted singer, actor and cultural innovator Mitch Smolkin, accompanied by renowned pianist Nina Shapilsky.  The Forward declared that "Mitch Smolkin is Yiddish's next wave," and The Jewish Standard gushed "Mitch Smolkin makes a fine romantic figure, and sings sexy love songs very well."

Audiences will hear the American Songbook and the great Broadway hits of the 20th century as they were heard on thousands of radios across the country -- in Yiddish! You'll never listen to Oklahoma the same way again. In addition to mining the richness of Rexite's era, Mitch will perform some classic Yiddish songs that are bound to send you home singing.  So put down your dreydl and join us as we journey back to the golden age of Yiddish radio.  New York delights like pickles, egg creams and Dr. Brown's will be on sale!
