From its opening in 1927 to its closure in 1939, Littman’s People’s Theatre was Detroit’s premier destination for Yiddish-language theatrical performance and film. Managed and founded by Abraham Littman, the theater served as one of the most significant hubs of Yiddish-language cultural production and consumption in Detroit.
