On Monday March 21 at 7:30 pm the beautiful, lyrical songstress Anna Bergman is Falling in Love With Love in a concert devoted to romantic songs by Richard Rodgers. The evening is produced by Carol Ostrow and features Nat Chandler with musical direction by Joseph Thalken and will honor Rabbi Jill Hausman and our president Robert J. Reicher.
The once beautiful “jewel of a shul” is trying to keep its doors opened. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, built in 1917, the Actors Temple is falling into terrible disrepair and desperately needs renovation or the building will be lost. It is more than a building. It is show business heritage.
The stars who built this Temple paved the way for Jewish actors, dancers, comedians, directors, and producers to be taken seriously and to have careers in New York. If those old walls could talk, you’d be screaming with laughter or crying your eyes out with the likes of Sophie Tucker, Edward G. Robinson, The Three Stooges, The Ritz Brothers, Marx Brothers, Milton Berle, Shelly Winters and sooooo many more. This is everyone’s history!
