Story by: Joan Liman
Recorded: July 2010, New York, NY
Music: Kurt Weill; with selections from the musical Signs of Life, music by Joel Derfner, lyrics by Len Schiff, book by Peter Ullian
From a childhood in Brooklyn dreaming of a career in the theater to the producer of a successful off-Broadway musical. From motherhood, through medical school and beyond. Though illness both physical and psychological. A portrait of a life, well-lived and hard-fought, that is the very definition of survival.
