Veteran performer Penny Orloff is bringing her dynamic solo performance, 'Songs And Stories From A Not-Quite-Kosher Life,' back on tour, offering audiences an intimate glimpse into her rich cultural heritage and show business experiences. The performance, inspired by her bestselling novel 'Jewish Thighs On Broadway,' has previously garnered widespread critical acclaim, including standing ovations and positive reviews from prominent publications.
Orloff's show weaves together heirloom melodies, personal narratives, and comedic storytelling that explore her Jewish immigrant family's history. As the last in her family line, she considers herself the 'Keeper of the Lore,' preserving important family stories and cultural traditions through her performance.
The one-woman show draws from Orloff's extensive background in performing arts, which includes featured roles on Broadway, performances with New York City Opera, and extensive musical theater credits. Her novel, which inspired the performance, has achieved bestseller status in multiple categories, including Comedy and Biographies of Comedians.
Available for performances in small venues, house concerts, fundraisers, senior centers, and community events, Orloff's show offers a unique blend of humor, music, and personal reflection. Her storytelling captures the nuanced experiences of a Jewish woman navigating family expectations, artistic ambitions, and personal identity.
