THEATRE: Theodore Bikel is a veteran of the stage, screen, and recording studio. He's been nominated for an Academy Award (for his role in The Defiant Ones) and two Tony Awards, performed with Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger, and is a founder of the Newport Folk Festival. With this outstanding list of accomplishments behind him, tonight he returns to the stage in Toronto for a preview performance of his one-man show, Sholom Aleichem: Laughter Through Tears, which he both wrote and is starring in. Sholom Aleichem was a Yiddish author in the late 1800s whose short story about Tevye the milkman inspired the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
