| Monday, June 1 | 11:00 AM | Free Their heads covered by wigs and scarves, the ultra-Orthodox women of Geula were invisible to outsiders…until Shtisel pulled back the curtain on their lives, their hearts and their strengths. Now hear from the actresses who embodied Giti, Libbi, Ruchami and Elisheva - and from the female producer who shepherded the family drama into an unlikely global sensation. With: Dikla Barkai, Producer Shira Haas, Ruchami Neta Riskin, Giti Hadas Yaron, Libbi Ayelet Zurer, Elisheva Moderated by Abigail Pogrebin Read about our previous Shtisel event | Thursday, June 4 | 6:00 PM | Free Unabashedly gay, unabashedly proud and unabashedly talented, in the early 1980's Harvey Fierstein burst into the national consciousness as Arnold in Torch Song Trilogy and has remained there ever since. He brought Edna Turnblad, Tevye and Bella Abzug to life on Broadway, and wrote the books for La Cage aux Folles, Newsies, Kinky Boots and Casa Valentina. In the process, he won four Tony Awards and three Drama Desk Awards for performance and writing, a Hollywood Star, an Emmy nomination - and is still a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn. Join Harvey for a schmooze with Academy Award winner Elinor Burkett.  | ||||
