Welcome to the (at least temporarily called?) Sam Kasten Legacy Project, developed and maintained by Stephanie J. Spielman.

Sam Kasten¹ (1869-1953), one of my paternal great-great grandfathers², was a beloved comedian/song-and-dance man in the American Yiddish theater in the early 1900s.

This website is a work in progress landing page for materials reviving his legacy.
