My friend Nilaja (well, she's sorta famous now so I haven't been in touch for a while, but anyway...) has this AMAZING one woman show called No Child, about working as a teaching artist in a NY public school. It is playing at the Lookingglass Theatre at the Waterworks tower. I absolutely think you would both love this show and should bring everybody you know to see it b/c she is jsut that fantastic.
Also, I get these email updates and I guess she is part of a panel at Columbia College about arts in education that is FREE and might be of interest to ya....
