Forgotten Canadian sports icon Bobbie Rosenfeld gets an onstage revival in Barrie, Ont.

Culturally Jewish · 6 Sep 2023

"Forgotten Canadian sports icon Bobbie Rosenfeld is being brought back into the spotlight through a new biographical play in Barrie, Ontario. Rosenfeld, a Jewish immigrant from early 20th century Russia, achieved Olympic success and broke barriers with her feminist attitude, yet her story remains largely unknown today. The play 'Bobbie' aims to not only raise awareness about this overlooked Canadian Jewish figure but also to explore how antisemitism intersects with mainstream culture. Director Lynn Weintraub and playwright Trudee Romanek discuss the creation of the play and the importance of telling Rosenfeld's story in today's context."
