The Folksbiene was a producer on the 2015/16 Broadway play "Indecent." In the Fall of 2017, the company staged an enhanced production of Abraham Goldfadn's The Sorceress as part of their restoration project – an endeavor that will restore lost or nearly lost Yiddish works to the canon of Yiddish culture. A fully stage production was mounted two years later in December 2019. In 2022, the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene presented Harmony: A New Musical, the New York debut of the musical by Barry Manilow and his longtime collaborator Bruce Sussman. The musical tells the true story of the Comedian Harmonists, an ensemble of six talented young men in 1920s Germany who took the world by storm. The show ran at the Museum of Jewish Heritage from March 23 to May 8, 2022.
