Orchard Street Productions to Present GOLDA'S BALCONY in November

Tony-nominated Golda's Balcony, starring FRANCINE! is coming to the San Diego and Palm Desert area for 5 exclusive performances of a national tour in November, 2015. Nashville-based Orchard Street Productions brings Broadway's longest running "one woman show" about the story of legendary Golda Meir, who rose from impoverished Russian School girl to Prime Minister of Israel.

The critically-acclaimed production, which was written by William Gibson, author of Miracle Worker & Two for the Seesaw, was called "powerful" by The New York Times and "Riveting" by the New York Daily News.

Jay Kholos is producer/director. His credits include producer/director of Old Jews Telling Joke", and writer/producer/director of Off Broadway hit, A Stoop On Orchard Street, My Catskills Summer and Book Of Esther.

Golda's Balcony stars Francine! Her credits include, Rose (Gypsy) Agnes (I Do I Do), Dolly Levi (Hello Dolly), Daisy Werthan (Driving Miss Daisy), Grace Hovland (Bus Stop) and dozens more shows from the Broadway stages.

The iconic Golda Meir (1898-1978), rose from humble beginnings to become Israel's fourth Prime Minister in 1969, when she was elected at the age of 70. She steered the fledgling Jewish State through some of its most dramatic and turbulent hours, notable the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Former Israeli Prime Minister and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Shimon Peres has likened Golda Meir to a "lioness" and "outstanding leader who never feared battle but never ceased to strive for peace."
