We are so happy and grateful to be included in this season with the Sarasota Jewish Theater / as a special event with the Sarasota Players and co-produced by SaraSolo Productions with Blake Walton directing. There is nothing like live theater!  Tickets are on sale online at theplayers.org or by calling 941-365-2494.

 

Many of you know this piece has been in development for longer than I care to mention…. BUT thanks to many people including Blake Walton, Carole Kleinberg, (the late great) Carlo Thomas and many others, we kept getting encouragement that our musical had real promise and to keep working on the rewrites.  With our performances in March at the SaraSolo Festival, we got such amazing feedback, that it seems Rhapsody For Golda is hitting its stride.

 

We are so excited to be back in rehearsal and expanding the artistic elements of the piece with 

 

* new staging for theater in the round by director Blake Walton

* new choreography by Vanessa Russo

* new flute and clarinet instrumentations for Teri Booth (reeds)

* Lighting by Jamie Butrum

* Adding an intermission – so there are two acts

* Adding 5 minutes of music to the 80 minute length (feedback – more   of the established songs) 

* And a couple rewrites in the book and lyrics 

 

For those of you who may have seen this work under different titles (Our Golda, My Golda, Golden Roads) this piece is 75% rewritten… thus the new title – Rhapsody For Golda.

 

Hope to see you in November!
