 Click image for more information  Information supplied by Trudi Goodman, August, 2006:
Here is a short bio of my work and a picture from a recent production, Charles Dickens' Hard Times.
I am very proud, by the way, to be from Dorchester. I am from the Grove Hall/Franklin Hill Area. I was born in Boston in 1954. At that time, The Grove Hall/Franklin Hill Area was primarily Jewish and Yiddish speaking. I am both.
Where I grew up was Hewins Street, which faces Blue Hill Avenue and The Franklin Park Zoo. At night from my windows in the 1950s I could hear the monkeys in The Monkey House at the Zoo. I used to tell My Dad, that one day I would bring all the monkeys home to their houses. My Dad asked me how I would do this...being a Dorchester/Urban kid... I said , "By trolley car."
