New Repertory Theatre Explores the Life of Golda Meir with GOLDA'S BALCONY

New Repertory Theatre presents Golda's Balcony, March 25-April 16, 2017 in the Mainstage Theater at the Mosesian Center for the Arts, 321 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA. Tickets are $30-$59 and may be purchased by calling the New Rep Box Office at 617-923-8487 or visiting newrep.org. Student, senior, and group discounts are available.

"As one of the first democratically elected female heads of state, Golda Meir's historic rise cannot be understated," says Artistic Director Jim Petosa. "Golda's Balcony is a cornerstone in a season we've entitled Prologue, as we look back through history to inform the present. At a time when our current political environment is in flux and America's standing on the world stage is at a critical juncture, it is illuminating to produce plays that continue to examine today through the lens of the past."

"New Rep is thrilled to welcome back Bobbie Steinbach to our stage after appearing in a number of productions over the years including most recently our smash-hit revival of Fiddler on the Roof last December," says Managing Director Harriet Sheets. "Bobbie brings with her a creative energy that is unmatched in the Greater Boston theatre community, and we welcome all to join us for our much-anticipated production of Golda's Balcony this spring."
