Once I tried my hand at writing lyrics, I was hooked. Each song is like a short story or mini-story. From incidental songs in plays, I finally took a chance on writing book and lyrics for full-length musicals. I collaborated with extraordinary composers\u2013Jay Kerr, Allison Tartallia and Arthur Abrams. Below are some samplings from those productions, as well as single songs from one-acts and a song with both lyrics and music by Marianne Speiser, the composer. Some tracks are from studio original cast recordings, others are demos by the composer, and still others are audio taken from the dvd that are not studio quality but evoke the spirit of the show.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

They are who I am. Before I ever saw a play, I wanted to be an actor. I made scrapbooks of clippings from the Arts section in newspapers, and I read all the theater biographies in the local library, looking for clues on how to enter the world of acting. In school I gave a book report on the history of London\u2019s Drury Lane Theater and speeches about \u2018The Star System in Hollywood\u2019 and The Barrymore Family. I learned to love silent movies at the nickelodeon in the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia. When my Aunt Bea finally took me to see a touring production of \u201cThe Miracle Worker,\u201d I was totally and irrevocably determined to pursue my dream. In high school, I joined a professional acting workshop in Philadelphia, later earning a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Adelphi University on Long Island, NY. I appeared in plays Off-Off Broadway before graduation. After graduation, I studied in a professional acting workshop and privately with acting coaches. I gained invaluable experience from the many talented artists I worked with \u2013 especially directors Ron Link and Bob Dahdah, actor Marilyn Roberts and that force of nature, Ellen Stewart of La MaMa E.T.C., to name just a few. Crystal Field at Theater for the New City has been my producer, mentor and friend since 1994. Throughout my career, colleagues who led the way have generously shared their knowledge and experience with me. I follow their example by coaching other actors and playwrights. I began directing professionally when I replaced a director who had been fired two weeks before opening. This successful production led to more offers to direct in New York, including a production that moved to Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Lucernaire in Paris and then to the National Theatre in London. We all have stories inside us \u2013 the legacy stories of our ancestors, the stories from our life experience and the stories of our imagination that as artists, we nurture and share. I grew up hearing about the cost of prejudice and oppression. Brecht\u2019s \u201cMother Courage\u201d is my favorite play, reminding me of my grandmother\u2019s bravery and ingenuity. With four children including my father, she was trapped in a European war, unable to join her husband and oldest child who were already in the United States. After years of danger and struggle, Shifra Lozawick brought her children to safety. I have written more than twenty-five historical plays with the goal of holding a mirror to the present. My plays have been presented in the U.S., France and Germany. I write about the history of prejudice in the United States and abroad, about racism, antisemitism, misogyny, homophobia and anti-immigration. Putting a personal face to injustice has a power that reading history books cannot duplicate. As a reviewer wrote, \u201cBarbara Kahn is something rare in theater: an historian and playwright\u2026 Aiming for our heads and our hearts she tweaks our intellect and kindles our emotions.\u201d Paulanne Simmons, NYTheatre-Wire.com, Feb. 17, 2012, Acting is my first love. I wrote roles for myself, including two one-character plays that I perform whenever the opportunity occurs -- \u201cCyma\u2019s Story\u201d and \u201cCO-OP,\u201d (named \u201cBest Short Play\u201d in the Downtown Urban Theater Festival). I am a longtime member of the Dramatists Guild, AEA and SAG-AFTRA. Along with stage work, I have appeared in several films. My life in the theater has been governed by a passion for justice and for quality. In the 19th century, George Sand wrote: \u201cAll I want is for people to question the accepted lies and call out for the forgotten truths.\u201d Portraying the truth gives me fulfillment as an actor. Directing with integrity and insight is what I offer other actors. Preserving the truth is why I write plays.\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/performingartslegacy.org\\\/kahn\\\/author\\\/barbarakahn\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Music Tracks - Barbara Kahn","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/performingartslegacy.org\/kahn\/music-tracks\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Music Tracks - Barbara Kahn","og_description":"Once I tried my hand at writing lyrics, I was hooked.
