Welcome to When Strawberries Bloom
The Creation of Golda Meir
When Strawberries Bloom chronicles the life and times of Golda Meir, former Prime Minister of Israel (and one-time Denver, Colorado resident).
The play takes an audience from her early childhood in the Russian Empire through her adult years as a world leader.
Meir was born in 1898 in Ukraine, at a time when the country was under Russian control and when Jews were massacred by violent mobs in pogroms, anti-Jewish riots.
Her family immigrated to the U.S. in 1906. She ran away from home in 1913 at age 14 because her parents would not let her continue her education. Meir moved to Denver to live with her older sister and brother-in-law.
She credited Denver with being the place where her real education began, in the company of the many intellectual immigrants who gathered in their home kitchen. She developed ideas about women’s and workers’ rights.
