Performance

Lori Rottenberg has had decades of experience as a singer and actress. She has sung with several auditioned choirs, worked in paid and community theater productions, and been a frequent soloist at DC-area congregations. This experience informs her work and also allows her to be a compelling interpreter of her own writing at readings.
