Herman, David

Herman, David
(1876-1930)
   Spending much of his early directing career in European Jewish theatre, beginning in Odessa in 1908 with Peretz Hirshbein's troupe, David Herman worked with Warsaw's Arts Corner in 1910 and the Vilna Troupe in 1917, for whom he staged a highly stylized version of S. Ansky's The Dyb-buk. Herman subsequently immigrated to the United States to direct for the Jewish Art Theatre and the Folksbiene, a Yiddish theatre company founded in 1915.
