Folksbiene (New York). Yiddish for “People's Stage,” it was called by theatre historian Nahma Sandrow “one of the most illustrious of Yiddish amateur groups.” It has certainly been the most durable, being formed in 1915 by a merger of several older companies, including the Progressive Dramatic Club and the Hebrew Dramatic League. From the start it was closely allied with left‐wing and labor organizations and still operates under the auspices of the Arbeiter Ring (Workmen's Club). No season since its founding has gone by without its offering at least one presentation, and usually more. It performs generally serious plays, mostly by Yiddish writers, but has often turned to Eugene
O'Neill, Upton Sinclair, and important European playwrights as well. The group frequently hires distinguished professional directors and, because its actors are amateurs, performs only on weekends.
