I've had the immense pleasure and privilege of working with Ira S as a stage manager in her production of Callback by Bill Svanoe this past year, an Off Fringe show that she not only directed but in which she also performed live music as a keyboard player and a vocalist. In addition to being an accomplished artist and performer with a vast array of experiences from overseas, Ira S is also an insightful and passionate teacher. She draws from her experiences and eagerly encourages her students to follow their passion too, always going above and beyond for them. I am more than pleased to endorse Ira as a teacher, an artist and a mentor. She has become a very important asset in my artistic career and I'm happy to say a friend as well.
