Hello, everyone. Some of you on Hasafran may know that the Kaufman Center commissioned a family musical based on Shlemiel Crooks, a Sydney Taylor Honor Book, and that the musical premiered at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City in 2011. It was performed again in 2012 and 2014.
Both the script and score have just been published by Drama Source, which means that theaters everywhere can now produce their version of the Shlemiel Crooks musical. If you would like to let your local theater (at a school, JCC, or synagogue) know about the script, please see: http://www.dramasource.com <http://www.dramasource.com/> Scroll down and look for “Jewish,” and then click on “Shlemiel Crooks": http://www.dramasource.com/itempage.php?script=SC <http://www.dramasource.com/itempage.php?script=SC> You’ll see there a "Read Portion Online For Free” link. I’d also be happy to send any director a sample script. And if you’d like to forward some MP3 recordings of music from the play to a director, contact me at the email address above and I’ll be happy to email those to you. By the way, photographs from the Merkin Hall productions of Shlemiel Crooks are on Flickr at: 2011 http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaufmancenter/sets/72157626216509441 <http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaufmancenter/sets/72157626216509441> 2012 http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaufmancenter/sets/72157629724585595/with/7039115511/ <http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaufmancenter/sets/72157629724585595/with/7039115511/> 2014 https://www.flickr.com/photos/kaufmancenter/sets/72157643953742083/ <https://www.flickr.com/photos/kaufmancenter/sets/72157643953742083/> Thanks.
