Joel Schechter has rediscovered the funny and often politically-charged plays of the American Yiddish theatre of the 1930s. In Messiahs of 1933 he celebrates their satire, their radical imagination, and their commitment to social change.

Professor of Theatre Arts at San Francisco State University, Joel Schechter has written a number of books about satirists and circus clowns, and created a series of comic strips with the illustrator Spain.
