Beyond the Pale show

Summary: Beyond the Pale dedicated its last show of 2013 to remembering the Zayde of Jewish Punk, Lou Reed, who exited stage left the past fall. Meanwhile, thanks to a new graphic novel and upcoming film, Brian Epstein, the Gay Jewish manager of the Beatles unexpectedly steps ever more into the limelight in that most epic and near-tragic pop cultural story of our time. Finally, the oft-overlooked middle period of Chagall, when he was in exile in New York, returns to New York and audiences are now confronted with a singular case of Holocaust art that made the crucifixion its central symbol.    Three separate guests joined Beyond the Pale for the show: 1. Steven Lee Beeber: author of HEEBIE-JEEBIES at CBGB's, find out more at www.jewpunk.com.              2. Viveak Tiwary: Broadway Producer of "American Idiot," and more, and author of "The Fifth Beatle." Find out more at thefifthebeatle.com.     3. Susan Tumarkin Goodman:Senior Curator of Chagall: War, Love and Exile, find out more at thejewishmuseum.org.
