Career
Belle has co-created Moon Over Dark Street , a Brecht Weill Cabaret with Pilgrim Theatre; Cutting Crosstown: From 2nd Avenue to Broadway with fellow performer Jeffrey Korn; and her one woman shows Songs from the Brink, Songs of Love and Agitation and The Love Songs of Rodgers and Sondheim . On the Jewish theater circuit, venues have included the JCCs of St. Paul, MN; Rochester, NY; Newton, New Bedford and Stoughton, MA; as well as Jewish events from Phoenix, Arizona to Kansas City, Missouri. Belle's interest in Weill and Yiddish music was inspired by the generous spirit of her teacher, Martha Schlamme.
A graduate of Harvard Radcliffe, she performs in French and Italian as well as Yiddish and Hebrew. Her theater roles include Esther in Elizabeth Swados' rock opera Esther , Alice in her Alice in Concert , Josephine in Laura Harrington's N (Bonaparte ) and Sally in Cabaret . Belle's other theater credits include work with Robert Wilson and Andrew Serban at the American Repertory Theater. She has taught singing and performance since 1991 at Harvard University and each summer in Italy through the Tuscany Project.
