Bernice Loren Biography ((?)-)

Addresses: Office: 250 W. 55th Street, New York, NY, 10019.

With Roland F. Bernstein and Marilyn Lief Kramberg, Ms. Loren co-founded Expressions, a not-for-profit theatre school. "I developed something of acrusading spirit about the quality of theatre and of theatre practice. I think acting is at its most exciting and rewarding when, along with the ability to communicate with and affect the audience, there is a characterization so full and true that the actor may not even be recognizable from role to role."
