Biography

Young learned Russian, Polish, and German in childhood after studying and learning Hebrew with the Yanover Rav. In 1887, he became a supporter of the Tantsman-Spivakovski troup in the Eldorado Theater and then moved to London where he was devoted to the Yiddish theatre troup (Adler, Gradner, Max Rosenthal, and Abba Schoengold)[1]

In 1889 he emigrated to the United States and joined a dramatic club, where Kopl Sender had produced Abraham Goldfaden's Doktor Almasado in which Boaz played "Bartelo" and with which he traveled to play in the provinces. In 1891 he played in Der yidisher kenig lir (The Jewish King Lear) then with Adler in the Roumania Opera House and in the Windsor Theater. In the 1910s he played in People's Theater, the Thalia theater, Kessler's Lyric Theater in Brooklyn and in 1911 starred with his wife in H.

The Youngs went to Europe, starring in Lemberg, Czernowitz, Iași, and Bucharest, then came back to America where Boaz helped create the Second Avenue Theater. He travelled to Warsaw, Poland several times with his wife Clara Young, playing at the Elizium Theater in Anshel Shor and Joseph Rumshinsky's Di Amerikanerin, and at the Kaminski theater in Rakov in Rumshinsky's Khantshe in Amerike, Filips's Alma vu voynstu? and the German operetta Puptshik.
