WIZO 100th Celebration

MAZELTOV WIZO AND BRAVO!!

The Grand Old Lady is 100……..and 1 actually!

WIZO’s 100th celebration was subject to a few Covid related hiccups but FINALLY we got there, and what a wonderful simcha it was!

Judy Freedman wrote and directed a sensational musical revue of WIZO over 70 years in Perth; Heather Kur was Assistant Director, Roberta Altmuner put together a fabulous Powerpoint featuring the so many memorable events and faces, Illana Klevansky was a sublime narrator and Margaret Helfgott tinkled the ivories to perfection. 

The cast were spectacular on the day! The energy was infectious and their enjoyment obvious so the audience had the BEST time!  Esther, Queen of the Dessert made a flashy appearance and “Rabbi Coleman” was there to give an edict on Kosher catering in Perth. Even “Rebecca Sieff” dropped in, accompanied by “Hannah Breckler” and “Vera Rosenwax”.

The lyrics written by Judy were by turns hilarious and nostalgic, paying tribute to each of the WIZO groups over the many years and the activities they specialised in.  WIZO Catering, Quilts and Crafts, Art Exhibitions, Cookbooks, the Queen Competition, an array of joyous musical productions and most recently the very successful Mahjong Club.
