Penny Orloff's One-Woman Show Celebrates Jewish Family Lore and Showbiz Journey

Veteran performer Penny Orloff is reviving her celebrated one-woman show, 'Songs and Stories From A Not-Quite-Kosher Life,' bringing her unique blend of personal storytelling and musical performance to audiences across the country. The show, inspired by her bestselling novel 'Jewish Thighs On Broadway,' promises an intimate journey through her family's immigrant experience and her decades-long career in entertainment.

Orloff's performance has a rich history of critical acclaim, including a successful decade-long tour and an off-Broadway run in 2005. The show features heirloom melodies, family stories, and Orloff's personal experiences in the performing arts, offering audiences a deeply personal and entertaining narrative.

With a career spanning over 50 years in theater and film, Orloff brings a wealth of experience to her one-woman show. Her background includes featured roles on Broadway, performances with New York City Opera, and principal roles in classic musicals like 'Fiddler On The Roof' and 'Man of La Mancha'.

The show is particularly significant as Orloff positions herself as the 'Keeper of the Lore,' preserving and sharing her family's stories and cultural heritage. By performing in small venues, house concerts, and community events, she ensures these narratives reach diverse audiences and maintain cultural connections.

Her accompanying novel, 'Jewish Thighs On Broadway,' has achieved bestseller status in multiple categories, further amplifying the reach of her storytelling. The book and show both offer a comedic, poignant exploration of the entertainment world through a Jewish woman's perspective, celebrating resilience, humor, and cultural identity.
