Phyllis Berk - Joseph Papp Theater - "Coming of Age"

[Mjspudic <Mjspudic...>]

    Before everyone completely fades into summer vacation mode, thought I 
might alert the subscribers on this list, particularly those in the greater 
New York area to a special theatrical event that is about to take place in 
the Riverdale section of the Bronx just around the corner in September, a 
mere few weeks away.
        
      Phyllis Berk, whom many on the list may recall from her starring role 
in the Off-Broadway musical The Golden Land is will present a new one-woman 
show on three consecutive Sundays in September. 
     A powerful singer and Jazz stylist, Phyllis evokes the poetry, the 
emotional suvival of Jewish culture in America.  Exciting and innovative, she 
weds a musical heritage of American Popular song and Yiddish theater, 
fashioning together her own unique tale.  
    Thus it is a pleasure to inform everyone on the list who can manage it, 
to come and experience this one-time limited engagement with Phyllis Berk, 
live on stage!
