Featuring female charismatic, clever, controlling, and comforting characters plus female lyricists, poets, composers, and arrangers. We have brand-new choral arrangements and familiar songs you’ll hear in a brand-new way. No need to know any Yiddish – our song intros, English supertitles, and handy printed program will keep you in the loop.
Have fun with a 1970s American feminist favorite (in Yiddish, of course) and hits from the Barry Sisters, Adrienne Cooper, Molly Picon, and Sophie Tucker!
