About the event
Sandra Laub, an award-winning actress and veteran teacher, has been performing William Gibson’s Tony Award-winning one-woman play, Golda’s Balcony, in a variety of settings - theaters, classrooms, social halls, sanctuaries, outside under tents, and online - to critical acclaim and heartfelt audience response since 2013. Golda’s Balcony is a 90-minute tour-de force. With humor, pathos, and passion, we witness the journey of Golda Meir from impoverished child in Czarist Russia to becoming Israel’s 4th Prime Minister, scrambling to save the country from impending destruction during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. At the heart of the play is Meir’s lifelong struggle to attain peace while agonizing over difficult moral choices, including especially the ‘terrible question’: “What happens when idealism becomes power?”
