Shows featuring Theodore Bikel

Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!
Amy Goodman

Hi there,

Theodore Bikel

Renowned actor, folk singer, musician, composer and activist who performed the role of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof more than 2,000 times and was known for creating the role of Baron von Trapp in The Sound of Music on Broadway. He co-founded the Newport Folk Festival with Pete Seeger and made more than 20 albums, many of them in Hebrew and Yiddish. He was also an outspoken critic of Israeli plans to forcibly relocate some 40,000 Bedouin Arabs from their ancestral lands.
