90-year-old Beloved Coach/Psychologist Performs
to Sold-Out Crowds…
Being Somebody… a father-daughter tale about growing up Brooklyn
Through masterful storytelling, music, and song, the talented duo takes us back in time to their formative years. Howard brings to life what it was like growing up as a skinny Jewish kid in Brooklyn’s post war gleam of the 1940s while Marla sings about holding fast to our dreams and explores her femininity in the gritty disco era of the 1970’s…
