Listen "Karen Toto-Hockenberry"
Episode Synopsis
My guest is Karen Toto-Hockenberry. Karen was a Prendie girl who went to Temple University. She joined the staff in 1977 as a dancing instructor. I was a student of hers in the lobby. She moved to The Big Apple and found work in the chorus, singing and dancing in many Broadway shows and national tours. Karen returned to Summer Stage in 1989 to direct Guys and Dolls. The following summer, she choreographed Showstoppers 2. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .We all have stories to tell, and they can be heard here.
