What a treat it was to go to Barrie and see the play Bobbie, presented by Theatre by the Bay! Trudee Romanek did a superb job writing the play–clear, passionate, well-researched. The actors were skillful and expressive, and Kathy Kacer’s consultant work was detailed and accurate. It brought me great joy to see Bobbie’s achievements (and challenges) come to life! I do hope you’ll have a chance to see the play. It runs until Sunday Sept. 10, 2023. Here’s TBTB’s website for more information: https://theatrebythebay.com/2023

I’m delighted to be mentioned in a recent (June 23, 2021) article, “Twenty-First Century Jewish Women Writers in Canada”, by Dr. Catherine Caufield for the Jewish Women’s Archive (JWA). The article presents a fascinating overview of the literary scene in various regions of Canada, and the Jewish women writers who reflect upon identity, culture, and heritage through various literary genres.
