A series of eight individual colorful costume designs for a Jewish Theater troupe. Featuring such characters as: The Villain, the Hag, the Arabian, the Minstrel, the Fiddler, Napoleon, the Housewife, the Jester, the Sleepwalker and the Shrew.

Reminiscent of drawings by Bernard Zakheim of his costume designs for the Los Angeles Yiddish Theater production of Sholem Aleichem’s “The Doctor.” Like Zakheim’s humorous sketches, the examples here depict not only the costumes per se, but also the character’s personalities, gestures, and performing stances.
