IT WILL TICKLE YOUR FUNNY BONE AND PLAY ON YOUR HEARTSTRINGS!
This touching two act play takes the theatergoer on a personal journey that movingly entertains with heartfelt stories, song, and dance. Sandy plays herself, and she plays any number of characters from her colorful life story—imparting fond memories of her castanet-playing gypsy mother, her Jewish borscht-belt-entertainer father, her five siblings, and a childhood-dream-come-true of being an NFL cheerleader. Along the way she trades hot pants for long skirts, drops her pompoms, and cartwheels off the LA Raiders sidelines into the traditions-and-scriptures-bound path of Modern Orthodox Judaism. There’s a lot more to life than the halftime show.
This show will take the place of "Golda's Balcony" - Jan. 9-24, 2010. However, because Ms. Wolshin is "shomer shabbas" (Sabbath-observant) she will not be performing on Friday nights. We are presenting this play in collaboration with the National Jewish Theatre prior to its moving on to New York.
