That’s What She Said

This production features a very specific kind of protagonist — women! ‘That’s What She Said’ features stories of and about Israeli women from all over the country: from the life-long friendship between Moshe Dayan’s 99-year-old widow and Yasser Arafat’s mother-in-law, through a Bedouin woman’s “quiet revolution,” all the way to a Jewish transgender woman’s journey to self-discovery and much more.

With radio-style storytelling, live music, dance, and other mixed media magic, this evening will showcase exciting stage adaptations of some of the podcast’s classic stories, alongside new stories of strong, funny, and pioneering Israeli ladies.

Accompanying Artists: The show includes original music by The Hazelnuts trio, created specifically for ‘That’s What She Said.’
The show includes a duet performed by two professional dancers.
