Seven post-show talkbacks have been announced for Shakespeare & Company’s limited run of Golda’s Balcony by William Gibson, which will be presented from February 23 to March 10 in Boston at the Jackie Liebergott Black Box Theatre at the Emerson Paramount Center.
Each talkbacks will occur immediately after the performance, and will each feature an influential figure in Boston’s Jewish community in conversation with the Elliot Norton Award-winning star of the play, Annette Miller. Admission to this talkback is included with your purchase of a ticket to the March 7 performance of Golda's Balcony.
The talkback on March 7 will feature Shulamit Reinharz, Ph.D., the Jacob Potofsky Professor of Sociology as well as the Founder and Director of three units at Brandeis University: The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute (est. 1997), the Women's Studies Research Center (est. 2001), and the Kniznick Gallery for Feminist Art (est. 2001). She supervises all internal programs including the WSRC Student Scholar Partnership Program; the HBI Summer Internship Program; the HBI Artist-in-Residence Program; the HBI Project on Gender, Culture, Religion and the Law; and HBI Project on Children, Families and the Holocaust; as well as several book series and the journal Nashim: A Journal of Jewish Women's Studies and Gender Issues. In 2001, she opened the physical facility in which all of these activities take place, a 10,000 square-foot section of the Epstein Building, a facility she designed and for which she raised all the funds. As a sociologist, Reinharz is a frequent lecturer, and a publisher of books, chapters, articles and reviews. She currently is the co-p.i. on a project in Israel concerned with government mandated advocates for women in all municipalities.
