The Street - The News

The Street garners
6 "MITF Awards" from the
Midtown International
Theatre Festival!

RONNIE COHEN (Writer, Composer, Lyricist) has been fooling around in the theatre one way or another since forever. More recently, she and her pal Jane Beale wrote Correction, a finalist in the 2006 Sienna College International Playwright’s competition. Currently, she’s working on Quota, a serious drama about limits, self-imposed or otherwise. But her true labor of love remains THE STREET, a musical comedy about Wall Street shenanigans, the American Dream and ‘making it’ in the Big Apple. She credits her husband Larry and son Lee for helping her ‘make it’ every day.
