CSUN Jewish Studies to Host Free Sneak Preview
(NORTHRIDGE, Calif., Jun. 29th, 2009) ―The Jewish Studies Program at Cal State Northridge invites the public to preview a documentary about entertainment pioneer Gertrude Berg on Sunday, July 19.
The film, “Yoo Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg,” humorously chronicles the life of Berg, who created, wrote and starred in “The Goldbergs,” a popular radio show about a Jewish family living in New York City. It is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. in the Laemmle Town Center 5 located at 17200 Ventura Blvd. in Encino.
“The documentary illustrates the incredible talent of Gertrude Berg and also shows her skill at tapping nostalgia for this very smart and wise ‘yiddishe mama,’” said Jody Myers, coordinator of CSUN’s Jewish Studies Program.
The documentary examines the creation of sitcoms and the challenges of creating comedy during a time of war.
Following the screening, the CSUN Jewish faculty will lead a question and answer discussion.
While the preview is free and open to the public, seating is limited. For more information or to reserve a seat, call (818) 677-4724 or e-mail jewish.studies@csun.edu.
