AWARD-WINNING SENSATION
“FROM DOOR TO DOOR” NOW ON STAGE
AT BROWARD STAGE DOOR
James Sherman’s latest Jewish family saga, again fits
what is called the Levy’s Bread test. The characters are
Jewish, but you don’t have to be Jewish to relate to them. The tracking of the three generations of one family’s women from generation to generation-from impoverished immigrants to assimilated, but still connected to their roots-Americans could be any nationality, and take place in New York or Boston as easily Chicago.
For every Yiddish truism uttered by Bessie, the Door to Door matriarch, there’s sure to be an Italian, Irish, Chinese or other
counterpart. The play opens with Mary sitting in a bare room, except for a chair. She is sitting in Shiva (the Jewish ritual of
mourning) for her husband. This lonely and downcast woman represents the middle layer in the generational sandwich.
She’s the first generation American who followed her mother’s convictions that women belonged in the
home, but wants her daughter to be like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem. The lengthy flashback takes us back to the
opening scene. While the story goes all the way back to the East European shtetl from which Bessie escaped to America.
The action begins when Mary is a senior in high school. Mother and daughter differ vastly in their dreams for a good life. Mary dreams of studying to become an artist, but practical Mamma dismisses dreams because they won’t pay the rent.
And so, the battle lines are drawn. between their differences and Mary’s concern about being the family’s financial rock, caring for her home, children and eventually the aging of Bessie, all of whom she loves dearly.
Yes, it’s schmaltzy-Yiddish theatre in English-but playwright Sherman has very much adapted their stories.
Considering the play stretches over such a long span,”From Door to Door” is very serious and ambitious play,
now on stage through July 1, 2018. Tickets are $48 at the box office located at 8036 W. Sample Road, Margate. For performance times and more information call 954-344-7765.
AMERICA’S ROMANTIC MUSICAL
“WEST SIDE STORY” COMING TO
SUSAN B. KATZ THEATRE

of New York City in the 1950's and explores the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of
different ethnic backgrounds.
“West Side Story” is a 1961 musical tragedy. After a brawl erupts, Lieutenant Schrank and Officer Krupke arrive and break it up. The Jets decide to challenge the Sharks to a rumble at an upcoming dance for neighborhood control. Riff decides that his best friend Tony Wyzek, co-founder of the Jets who left the gang, should join them for a rumble. Riff invites Tony to the dance, but Tony is not interested, however, he eventually agrees to come.
He tells Riff that he senses something important will happen in his life, which Riff suggests could be related to the dance. Bernardo’s younger sister, Maria, tells her best friend and Bernardo’s girlfriend Anita Palacio, with whom she works
at a bridal shop, how excited she is about the dance as they work on altering Maria’s dress. She also expresses the fact
that she has no interest in Chino, the young Puerto Rican man Bernardo brought to the U.S. for her to marry.
At the dance, the gangs and girls refuse to intermingle. Tony arrives and he and Maria fall in love at first sight. Bernardo angrily demands Tony stay away from Maria and sends her home. Riff confronts Bernardo about meeting to arrange the fight.
