GOLDA'S BALCONY:
From the "Broadway Abridged Shorts" Archives
By Gil Varod
SCENE: HELEN HAYES THEATRE
Enter TOVAH FELDSHUH with uglier nose.
TOVAH FELDSHUH
I'm Golda Meir, and I'm going to tell you about my life.
AUDIENCE
Oyveysmirdt, she's gonna do Golda. Shush, let the voman
speak.
TOVAH FELDSHUH speaks in a Milwaukee
accent for two hours while powerpoint
slides display in the background.
SOLO NON-JEW IN AUDIENCE
(confused)
I... uh... I must've walked into the wrong theatre...
BLACKOUT.
Oedipus for Kids. A hysterical 3-person musical from the writers of Broadway Abridged. Performance rights now available.
"A spoof of children’s theater with some truly funny songs and endearingly
loopy performances from a cast of just three."
Charles Isherwood The New York Times
"Patterson
and Varod’s book captures a Christopher Durang-like sensibility that is
infectiously entertaining. Varod and Saferstein’s score is a total treat,
too."
