Penny Orloff's One Woman Show, Songs And Stories From A Not-Quite-Kosher Life, Is Back On The Road

Penny Orloff's book, Jewish Thighs On Broadway, based on her own misadventures in Show Business, inspired this sidesplitting one-woman show performed all over the United States.

Bestselling author Penny Orloff recently announced that her one woman show, Songs And Stories From A Not Quite Kosher Life, is back on the road.

Orloff’s first one-woman show, inspired by her the novel, 'Jewish Thighs On Broadway,' played to standing ovations and critical acclaim, including sold-out houses and rave reviews for its premiere in the Seattle Fringe Theater Festival in March, 2000. The show toured the U.S. for a decade, including a successful off-Broadway run in 2005. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive:

"Penny Orloff… assured and excellent in every way." New York Times

"This funny, multi-faceted story of one woman’s journey through Showbiz entrances from its first word to the last." Seattle Fringe Review

"Ravishingly descriptive and continuously entertaining...incredible warmth, wit, charm... Brilliant!" Bellevue Post Intelligencer

"…a sweet and charming presence, narrating the story while acting an assortment of characters... her self-effacing humor is enjoyable and authentic. She sings in a soft, legit soprano …Penny Orloff is so darn likeable!" Broadway World

Her new solo show is bursting with heirloom melodies, stories of her Jewish immigrant family, and tales from her zany life in show business.

“As a Jewish woman, I’m Not Quite Kosher without marriage and children,” she says. “Still, I am the Keeper of the Lore. I am the only one left to remember the stories, to sing the songs.”

The show is available for small venues, house concerts, fundraisers, senior centers, and community events. A preview of the show is available at YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RanMdQxAwPY. Booking information is available at her website at https://PennyOrloff.com.

The ebook version of the underlying novel, 'Jewish Thighs on Broadway,' has achieved bestseller status in a number of categories: Comedy, Biographies of Comedians, Humorous Literary Fiction, and Theatre Biographies.

Orloff's novel is populated by an oddball immigrant family, on-again-off-again lovers, diets from Hell, and a Rogue's Gallery from the Showbiz underworld; and every scene has readers laughing out loud.

Abigail Paine, born Miriam Rosen, has been in love with Showbiz and the performing arts since childhood, perpetually fantasizing herself as the Little Trouper Who Finds Stardom and True Love by the end of the movie. After a hundred shows and a hundred one-night stands, love and fame still elude her, and she'd rather eat cyanide than face another audition. Complicating her search for the Busby Berkeley ending is her primitive alter-ego: The Beast. This creature can track, kill, dismember, and devour an entire cheesecake; and kick the stuffing out of smaller muggers on the sidewalks of New York. When Abigail finds love at long last, she is faced with an agonizing choice: Showbiz or The Guy. As she laments, “Breaking into this Business is like breaking into Fort Knox; breaking out, we're talking Alcatraz.”

Metropolitan Opera Leading Tenor Jacques Trussel called 'Jewish Thighs on Broadway', "Ravishingly descriptive and continuously entertaining... the best book I have ever read on this subject... incredible warmth, wit, charm... Brilliant!"

Theater Puget Sound’s review said, " . . . passionate. . . Wonderfully evocative language, lots of humor, tears where they belong...thoroughly enjoyable."

One Amazon reviewer wrote, "Fun book! I highly recommend it. Characters are bigger than life, and delightfully screwball. Everyone's Jewish family nightmare! Lots of laughs." Another stated, “No doubt the most fun I’ve had reading for many years. Read it and laugh!"

New Script Now Available, Adapted From 'Leena - An Abused, Bruised And Bloodied Woman' By Author Sid Nachman

Leena is an unforgettable story of abuse and healing. Sid Nachman has been called "one of the funniest and endearing story-tellers of his generation." His latest work offers hope for women who have suffered abuse through a heart-wrenching story based on real life events.

Sid Nachman has announced the release of 'Raw', a 3 act play script adapted from his latest book, 'Leena: An Abused, Bruised And Bloodied Woman'. The new release tells the story of unspeakable abuse and healing, from early childhood into adult life. But Leena managed to overcome her experience, transforming a miserable past into a future filled with promise and hope. Sid Nachman recounts her inspiring tale with a dose of acerbic wit that shines through on every page. The end result is a book that is both wildly entertaining and incredibly revealing.

Suitable for plays for over-18 theatre of any type, from large venues to college and community threatres, the stage play is a dramatic adaptation of 'Leena' presented in 3 acts. The script is available at no charge at http://www.payhip.com/sidnachman.

“Leena proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you and I can make our impossible dreams come true," Nachman stated. "All we need is determination, an unquenchable belief in ourselves and a little help from God.”

Sid Nachman is also the author of 'Bipolar Me'. 'Bipolar Me' provides a penetrating glimpse into the day-to-day experience of a man who dealt with a condition for which there was no name at the time - a time when such chemical imbalances might be diagnosed as a form of schizophrenia and could be treated with electric shock treatment or end up with the sufferer being locked away.

'Bipolar Me' has garnered high praise from readers and reviewers alike. Sid's no-holds-barred writing style produces a work that is filled with hilarious stories that show us that life is just plain good. BookLover USA said that the book is "A roller coaster ride through the mind of one of the funniest and endearing story-tellers of his generation." It is a highly entertaining memoir that allows readers a glimpse into the unfettered mind of a bipolar boy who never grows up until his hair turns white. Readers will get to see his world in black and white and vivid color and will feel what he feels when he feels like he weighs three thousand pounds and a minute later can leap over tall buildings. Sid's life is a life gone wild that settles down when it’s almost too late.

'Bipolar Me' would bring me great joy if it can convince one person to never give up on themselves and try everyday with all the strength in their body to be a better human being."

Sid's first novel, 'Strictly For Seniors' is a nonfiction work of short stories about what happened to Sid "after breakfast on Delancey Street" in West Philly during the 30’s and 40’s when his Mom gave him a big hug and kiss and sent him on his way. Sid had great fun, survived bullying by hitting the bigger boys about the head with his violin case and developed his own singular brand of “street smarts".

"I wrote 'Strictly for Seniors' to show the readers a world they should never forget and to let them know unequivocally that older people like me can still teach them a thing or two."

Nachman's books have received fantastic reviews. One stated, "Like James Joyce, Sid Nachman can take the ordinary and turn it into magic with a fluency that's imperceptible." Another said "Sid's stories touch the human soul with wit, charm and realism."

Sid Nachman is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at mollymax210@gmail.com. All books are available at Amazon. More information, including samples from the books and recent interviews with The Authors Show, is available at his website at http://www.sidnachman.com.

Sid Nachman was the only child of immigrant parents from Russia and Germany who tried for 13 years to have him and were very tired from trying so hard. His initials are S.I.N. for Sidney Irving Nachman. He never found out if he was a sin or a joy. Sid resides in Florida with his wife, Linda and his golden retriever Violet and in spite of his big mouth is still loved by all.

Sid Nachman is also the author of 'Strictly For Seniors' - a nonfiction work of short stories about what happened to Sid "after breakfast on Delancey Street" in West Philly during the 30’s and 40’s when his Mom gave him a big hug and kiss and sent him on his way.  Sid had great fun, survived bullying by hitting the bigger boys about the head with his violin case and developed his own singular brand of “street smarts".

Both of Nachman's books have received fantastic reviews. One stated, "Like James Joyce, Sid Nachman can take the ordinary and turn it into magic with a fluency that's imperceptible." Another said "Sid's stories touch the human soul with wit, charm and realism."

In the 70’s, to soothe the nerves of those afflicted as well as their families and to make it sound less threatening the doctors named the disease, “Bipolar”.

Come to think of it: Would it be so bad if we took a step backwards and learned something from it?
