TOVAH premieres Wednesday, September 2nd at 7 pm, followed by a Q&A with Tovah Feldshuh and David Serero at Sinai Temple, 10400 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024.
Through exclusive interviews, rare archival footage, and intimate behind-the-scenes access, TOVAH traces Feldshuh's ascent from a daring young actress to a Broadway institution and cultural icon. The documentary explores her uncompromising artistic standards, her pioneering solo performances, and her enduring commitment to complex, intelligent, and powerful female narratives.
'Tovah Feldshuh is Broadway royalty,' said director David Serero. 'This film brings together the voices of those who have been inspired by her brilliance, discipline, and courage. TOVAH is a celebration of dedication to her craft.'
Positioned as both a celebration and a cultural document, TOVAH underscores Feldshuh's rare ability to bridge Broadway, Hollywood, and television, while remaining fiercely devoted to the theater.
