Mildred’s Umbrella Theater Company opens their 2025-2026 season with the Houston premiere of The Last Yiddish Speaker by Deborah Zoe Laufer. The production is the second of two co-productions with the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center of Houston.

Sarah is struggling to survive her senior year of high school - new town, new school, new boyfriend. She's also struggling to survive the new America, where the insurrection was successful and everything has changed. When an ancient Yiddish-speaking woman is deposited on their doorstep, Sarah and her father must decide whether to help the woman hide or to save themselves.
