Jennifer Manocherian is an experienced Broadway and off-Broadway producer, musical book writer, screenwriter, and film producer. Now, in her 80s, with the release of her first novel Alpha Bette, she adds "published author" to her list of credentials. On this episode, Jennifer takes us on a journey through her career, including stories from her pivot from therapy and divorce mediation into theater production, writing and producing films, and finally, putting pen to paper and writing her first novel. It’s a story that reminds us: Some dreams get better with age.
