New One Woman Drama with Music!

Karen is currently organizing a five-city tour for her One Woman Show, You Don’t Know Me. You Don’t Know Me is a riveting drama with music. It tells the story of Angela Star, a one-time up and coming singer and songwriter who has suffered one tragedy too many and is now living on the streets of New York City, vacillating between the past and present. Though she is homeless, Angela continues to sing and write beautiful music. Karen is honored and excited to breathe the breath of life into this piece that is so close to her heart, as she is an advocate for the homeless and all marginalized people. Karen wrote the script and all the songs for the show, and the incomparable, Steven Kaminski did the arrangements. The phenomenal writer, director and dramaturg, Zadia Ife is set to direct the show. After the tour, Karen will take the show into an Off-Broadway theatre in New York City.

JOIN ME ON MY JOURNEY TO NEW YORK!

Karen invites you to follow her journey as she builds her One Woman show, takes it on tour around the country and then into an intimate Off-Broadway theatre in New York City. Currently, she is considering a short run in Minneapolis MN, Los Angeles CA, Detroit MI, Charlotte NC, and Chicago IL. You can follow her progress step by step via Karen’s Instagram page, @realkarenabercrombie. You will be the first to hear some of the music she has written for the show and you will also get to see some bits and pieces from rehearsals, etcetera.

Kid's Book Club

Kid’s Book Club is an educational children’s television show that Karen created for ages 7 and up. Along with her puppet, Baxter the book worm, and Mr. G, the dependable neighborhood fix it man, Miss Karen teaches children the value and the power of learning to read. Children will also learn creative and positive problem solving skills along with practical life skills through music and stories.

I believe wholeheartedly that it takes a village to raise a child and this is my way of stepping up and out to do my part.
