On a Women-Only Stage, an Ancient King Speaks to Modern Israel
The script explores the unusual circumstances surrounding David’s birth and early years, when he was shunned, misunderstood, and treated as an outcast by his own family and community

A group of 27 women has found their “lifeline” after two years of war on a women-only stage in Jerusalem.
Later this month, New Note Productions, a newly founded Israel-based music and English-language theater company dedicated to creating meaningful, high-quality productions for women by women, will roll out the musical David the Servant King. The production, the first of its kind written by Shlomit Koffler Weinreb, an immigrant from Baltimore, has brought women from Jerusalem and Gush Etzion together.
