Golda’s Balcony

September 1-6

Golda’s Balcony tells the story of Golda Meir, the 4th Prime Minister of Israel. Broadway applauded this one-woman tour-de-force. This tight-knit story of war and peace opens in 1973, on the eve of the Yom Kippur War, and uses flashbacks to let Golda tell the story of her life: her journey from her birthplace in Russia to the United States where she settled in Milwaukee, became a school teacher and married. She describes her role as a socialist Zionist, her emigration to Palestine in 1921, the birth of her two children and the breakup of her marriage. These details form an intriguing backdrop for a dramatic look at idealism, power and the strength it takes to shape the destiny of a nation.

Ragtime

June 30-July 12

“The people call it Ragtime!” At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing… and anything is possible. Ragtime, a sweeping and stunning musical, is set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York. Three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. The Tony-winning score is just as diverse as the melting pot of America itself, from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. A truly unique and powerful portrait of America, Ragtime is sure to inspire Playhouse Audiences.
