The Digital Yiddish Theatre Project was co-founded by Center Director Joel Berkowitz in 2012. The DYTP is a research consortium dedicated to the application of digital humanities tools and methods to the study of Yiddish theatre and drama. It is an experiment in scholarly collaboration across dozens of fields, methodologies, and institutions. DYTP’s fifteen members include theatre researchers, historians, literary scholars, musicologists, film scholars, librarians, archivists, performers, musicians, and independent scholars who are among the leading scholars of Yiddish theatre, drama, and related fields.
