Susan Schapiro has returned to the stage after a 41-year hiatus, Mary Poppins, Jekyll and Hyde, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Titanic. Now she is delighted to tackle her first opera. A retired neonatologist, Susan also enjoys choral singing. She trusts that everyone will learn from and be moved by Sparks.
Performances of The Sparks Fly Upward are supported by The Sparks Fly Upward Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust, genocide, and tolerance through presentations of Sparks and ancillary activities. Past ancillary activities have included free tickets for Holocaust survivors, discounted tickets for students, lectures, photo displays, and web resources.
