Karen is the product of twelve years of parochial lower school education and four more years at Fordham University for which she holds a degree in English. She is the proud founder of Step It Up Summer Stage, where she enjoys immersing youngsters in productions they might not be exposed to otherwise. She is also the founder of CCMS’s Little Theatre Group, and is a veteran of many Cornwall community and school shows, where she has served on many levels as Director, Producer, and Costumer. Karen enjoys silence, other people’s cooking, and the serendipitous liberation from caring about public opinion, which has mercifully come with middle age.
