'Kosher Cheerleader' roots for faith, love
Sandy Wolshin had a lot of options when titling her one-woman show that chronicles her journey from cheerleading for the Oakland Raiders through her conversion to Orthodox Judaism.
"Hip Hip Torah"? "Shiksa Boom Bah"? "Raiderette of the Lost Ark"?
What, too much?
Despite her background as a stand-up comic, Wolshin settled on a more straightforward title, "The Kosher Cheerleader." She calls it "a truish Jewish love story."
Presented by the Arizona Jewish Theatre Company and produced by the Florida-based National Jewish Theater, her performance in the Valley is being billed as a world premiere as she gears up for planned runs in Florida and then off-Broadway in New York.
She hopes her story of self-transformation inspires her audience, of whatever faith.
