They were teachers together in the NYC school system, sang for the NY Shakespeare Festival for several summers, and formed their own company, CAP Productions, Inc. in 1978. Carole is known for her critically acclaimed creation of the leading role of Sandy in Broadway’s original Grease and has starred in thousands of performances for theatre and television. Paula and her guitar have traveled country wide, bringing folk music classics everywhere from Greenwich Village coffee houses to classrooms and Carnegie Hall. VH1’s “Foxy Ladies of 1973” are truly timeless treasures!
