Yentl is the journey of a young woman who defies the Jewish Orthodox tradition that forbids females from studying religious scripture. When her father dies, Yentl emancipates herself by dressing in male guise, determined to live as a man to continue her studies. Religion, gender, sexual politics, and traditional Yiddish culture collide as Yentl finds her truth through faith and love. This new stage adaptation of Nobel Prize laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer's iconic short story is the first since the 1975 Broadway play and Barbra Streisand's iconic 1983 musical film — an ode to the feminist undertones and queer subtext of the original story and an invitation to celebrate the beauty of Yiddish culture.
