Celebration of the Short Story. Each June 16th he also directs Symphony Space's

His writing efforts for screen and stage include Clair de Lune by the Pale
Moonlight, a tapestry of his new translations of French romantic poets and songs
of Gabriel Fauré; a PBS documentary on music in the 12th century; the book and
lyrics to the off-Broadway musical The Rise of David Levinsky; the screenplay of
the short feature film Pair of Jokers, starring Jerry Stiller; and the book and lyrics
of the off- Broadway musical Yiddle with a Fiddle, adapted from the classic 1936
film. He has written the plays Dreamers and Demons, about Isaac Bashevis
Singer's life and work; A Broadcast Baby; and an English version of Sholom
Aleichem's Hard to Be a Jew. He has written the libretto for A More Perfect Union,
an opera-ballet about the 1787 Constitutional Convention that gave us the
Electoral College, and so many other wonders.
