Northlight Theatre Presents: The First Lady of Television
Wed, September 24, 2025 @ 1:00 pm
Sep. 4 – Oct. 5, 2025
The First Lady of Television
By James Sherman
Directed by BJ Jones
Featuring Cindy Gold
In 1950, Gertrude Berg was the popular creator and star of America’s first family sit-com, The Goldbergs. When co-star Philip Loeb is accused of communism, Gertrude must make an enormous decision: fire him to keep the sponsors at bay or defend him and risk the show being canceled. In this new play based on the true story of a pioneering American entertainer, onstage comedy balances with the offstage intersection of art, religion, and politics that is shockingly relevant for today.
