She is particularly interested in exploring cultural diversity issues and has produced Never Again, based on a Jewish theme; Looking Back to Move Forward, based on an African-American theme and Woven Voices, Woven Threads, based on Jewish, Native American and African-American themes.

About The Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center: The 600-seat Allen Room is a variable-use space that takes advantage of the expansive view of Central Park below, with the placement of one high glass wall situated behind the performers. In the evening, car lights reflecting off the glass from the street below are coupled with sounds of jazz to provide a unique portrait of New York City's nightlife. |
