I am so impressed with these talented students at the Studio School! I have been rehearsing with them on their musical. The students  picked music and with the guidance of the very talented faculty created an original libretto and lyrics. 

It’s the Second Night seder time and yours truly will be playing for the service tonight.

It’s The Inner Circle time! If you want to be “in the room where it happens,” join me (assistant music director at the Keys)  at “Beg Your Pardon,” for political parody at its finest.
