Ms. Rosenberg is the foun- ding chair of the Musical Theatre Program at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. She con- ceives and narrates Gershwin programs all over the country. A resident of New York City and Ann Arbor, she co-directs the Musical Theatre Project, which develops new musicals with her husband. Ms. Rosenberg will be joined for the presentation by Broadway performers Diane Fratantoni, Adam Heller, Larry Marshall and Jimmy Roberts.

In response to a national appeal, the United Jewish Foundation (UJF) has sent a check for $34,000 to aid the hurricane-stricken Jewish community of South Florida. The Foundation, partner- ship organization of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, approved funds requested by the national Council of Jewish Federations, of which the local federation is a member. Other communities across the country also answered the emergency appeal. The contribution will go toward helping the Jewish community rebuild its homes and institutions in the wake of Hurricane Andrew. Millions of dollars in damage was reported by Detroit's sister federations in Florida, particularly Miami, where many poor and elderly Jews live. The contribution was made from the UJF general fund, which comes from contribu- tions and investments.
