After selling out multiple shows in the Women at Work Festival, Karen Sklaire, author and performer of Drama at the Point, has agreed to a four-night return to Stage Left Studio. She’s offering her inside look at teaching in the NYC school system at 5 pm on Jan 19, 25, Feb 9 and 16, 2014.
This 60-minute comedy was written by Ms. Sklaire, in association with her director Cheryl King, and in just one hour she takes you on a journey you’ll never forget.
