About

At No. 7 Bocheńska Street in the building erected in 1908 by Liebling and Oberleder there was the permanent stage of the Jewish Theatre in Kraków. Its establishment was largely due to the agents of the Kraków Bund and the enthusiasts of the Jewish theatre: Moses Kanfer, Abraham Seidenfeld, Frederick Freund, Maurice Fiszer, and two Jewish poets: Mordechai Gebirtig and Ber Horowitz. The stage's inauguration took place on the 13th of October 1926. The theatre at Bocheńska offered guest appearances by distinguished actors and the best theatrical troops of those times. The Vilnius Troop performed The Dybbuk and Day and Night by Ansky, and Jealousy by Artsybashev. The actors included the famous Ida Kamińska, Turkovovs, Shimon Dzigan and Israel Schumacher. The theatre also had its own actors and could, therefore, entertain and move the audience drawing upon the abundant resources of the Jewish literature. From 1945 to 1986 the Railwayman Theatre was the host of the stage at Bocheńska.
