In 1950, Gertrude Berg was a household name: writer, producer, and star of “The Goldbergs,” America’s first family sitcom. But when her co-star was accused of Communism, she faced an impossible choice: protect him and risk everything, or bow to the demands of sponsors and censors.
This vibrant new play brings a trailblazing entertainer to life in a story of art, integrity, and the political pressures that shaped (and still shape) American entertainment.
A drama about loyalty. A comedy about television. A story as relevant now as it was then.
