Joseph Buloff (December 6, 1899 – February 27, 1985) was a Russian Empire-born American actor and director known for his work in Broadway and Yiddish theatre.[1] He received the Itzik Manger Prize for contributions to Yiddish letters in 1974.[2]
Buloff was born in Vilna, Lithuania, on December 6, 1899.[3]
Buloff joined the Vilna Troupe when he was a teenager, and "his first major success" came in that company's production of Day and Night by S. Ansky.[4] While with the troupe, he also met Luba Kadison, whom he married and remained with until his death six decades later.[4]
Buloff immigrated to the United States in 1927 and worked with Maurice Schwartz's Yiddish theatre company. Buloff and Kadison toured Europe and the Western Hemisphere in the early 1930s, acting with Yiddish troupes in the countries that they visited. Their productions included adaptations of works by Dostoevski and Tolstoy and translated versions of works by Chekhov, Moliere, and Pirandello.[4]
Broadway productions in which Buloff appeared included The Price (1979), The Fifth Season (1975), The Wall (1960), Moonbirds (1959), Once More, With Feeling (1958), Mrs. McThing (1952), The Whole World Over (1947), Oklahoma! (1943), Spring Again (1941), My Sister Eileen (1940), Morning Star (1940), The Man from Cairo (1938), To Quito and Back (1937), Call Me Ziggy (1937), and Don't Look Now (1936).[5]
On February 27, 1985, Buloff died at his Manhattan home, aged 86.[1]
Some of Buloff's papers are preserved at YIVO[2] and at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.[6]
