Come experience a wonderful collection of actors and musicians on Thursday, May 1, 7pm, at Lehman College, 250 West Bedford Park Blvd, Bronx, NY, as they perform in an Artists Without Walls’ production, “Rise Up Singing.” The show, a multimedia presentation, explores the problems confronted by women and children in the workforce, past and present, through the use of song, live theater and film.

Second row, left to right, cellist Noah Hoffeld, actor Jack O’Connell, violinist, Annette Homann, and singer Niamh Hyland.
