jugglers, from first-timers to old hats, will have a blast at this fun workshop led by professional
circus juggler and educator Sara Felder. The coordinationally-challenged are especially
welcome. Feel free to bring your fears—but you’ll leave them behind when you pick up this
incredible art and (no kidding!) exercise.
"From Fanny to Woody to You: A Short History of Jewish Humor"
TEENS & ADULTS: Wednesday, November 7 • 7:30 pm •
Sara Felder • FREE! • Ohavi Zedek Synagogue, 188 North Prospect Street, Burlington, VT
Beloved Jewish juggler, shtikmeister, and comedy
maven Sara Felder leads us through a brief yet surprisingly accurate
history of Jewish humor. We’ll try to understand how our comic legacy affects Jewish-American
identity on a collective and individual level. We will talk about the Bible, Purim-shpils, Yiddish
theater, Fanny Brice, the Marx Brothers, Lenny Bruce, Woody Allen, and more. Why are Jews
funny? Come find out, and bring your favorite jokes!

SARA FELDER has been a professional
juggler and performance artist for more than 20 years. In addition to
juggling with San Francisco’s Pickle Family Circus, Joel Grey’s Borscht Capades, and Jugglers for Peace in Cuba, Felder has written
and toured four solo plays around the country. Her newest work,
Out of Sight, explores the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a
Jewish-American mother-daughter relationship.
The FlynnArts theater program creates supportive and fun-filled learning experiences that emphasize individual expression and embrace creative choice. Classes for children build sequentially, while teen and adult classes offer in-depth exploration of specific theater arts. Small classes mean that everyone receives personal attention, and performance opportunities let students try out their skills in front of supportive audiences filled with family and friends. Tours of the historic Flynn Theatre, discounts on world-class MainStage performances, and masterclasses with extraordinary visiting artists complement the strong core program.
