“It’s a Major Award!!”
With the "Leg Lamp" in Cleveland!
Can you name that movie? It was filmed here in Cleveland, Ohio!!
Wow… Fiddler on the Roof is coming in for a landing — One more week here in Cleveland at the Palace Theatre, then we’re all on to greener pastures… We’ve covered the country back and forth several times, and now we’re here in the mid-west for our last hurrah!! Huzzah!!!
Our Nachum, the Begger – Rick Passagno – asked a favor of the company. He’s teaching a Theatre Class for college students, and he asked us to contribute our 2 cents about our experiences on tour. This produced a little something I’m excited to share.

Just a little food for thought! Buon Appetito!!

A Concert with Lorin Sklamberg
Performing with Lorin Sklamberg at the YIVO Heritage Dinner
On April 26th, I had the opportunity to perform at the 9th Annual YIVO Heritage Dinner in New York City. As always, working with Lorin Sklamberg is just a dream… We sang a wide range of songs, including the Barry Sisters’ “Prost un Pushet” (Plain and Simple) , “Regnboygn” (Rainbow) from Kids & Yiddish and The Klezmatics’ version of Chava Alberstein’s “Di Krenitse” (The Well).
After 15 months on the road with Fiddler on the Roof, it was a pleasure to take my day off to sing those beautiful Yiddish words on the stage with one of my favorite collaborators. Our program, “Harts un Soul” has been patiently waiting for us to put voice to it again, and what better place than the Institute for Jewish research.
And the next day, I was back in Washington, DC at the National Theatre with Fiddler. Harvey’s back in the show, and as usual, we’re getting rave reviews and selling out. So what could be bad?

Joanne WHO?
I'm a New York based broadway actor and singer (most recently appearing in ONCE) who also performs in concerts and music festivals across the U.S., Canada and Europe. When I'm not on tour, I write and direct a really hip and innovative off-b'way kids show ~ I'm on the council of Actors' Equity and frequently sing the national anthem at professional sporting events. I love Barbershop harmony, playing my little red accordion and my husband's cooking... That's me!!
