Eileen and Gail are a sister team. They began their collaboration for Hallmark's Coterie Theatre in Kansas City. Their most popular show is the Hanukkah musical, The Odd Potato (based on Eileen's picture book), which has enjoyed more than thirty separate productions, including the All-Star 2003 production in NYC starring some of Broadway's most talented performers. Their television adaptation of The Odd Potato, produced by Super Station WGN, received the 1990 "Best Children's Special" Emmy Award for Chicago Programming. In 1998, Hallmark Cards created a special holiday card featuring The Odd Potato.

Separately, Eileen has written three novels for young adults. Monday in Odessa received the National Jewish Book Award, Independence Avenue received the International Reading Association's Teacher's Choice Award, and The Violin Players was a Thorpe Menn finalist. She co-wrote Nothing is Simple (a TV drama about race relations), which earned an Emmy Award for Chicago Programming and also served as a scriptwriter for Chicago television's The Magic Door.

In high school, Gail was the keyboard player for the Harvey Mason Trio. Little did she know that Harvey Mason (of "Fourplay") would become one of the most respected drummers in jazz circles. Dedicated to both music and education, Gail has changed the lives of thousands of inner-city students by using musical theater to build self-esteem. For over thirty years, she has inspired her students, serving as musical director, choral teacher, activities coordinator, Impact counselor, D.A.R.E. coordinator and Performing Arts instructor.

As an educator and performer, Gail has had the opportunity to work with such celebrities as Jon Voight, David Crosby of ("Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young"), Shadoe Stevens, and Esai Morales (of "NYPD Blue"). In 1998, The Fulfillment Fund of Los Angeles honored Gail as one of L.A.'s most respected educators. In March 2001, Gail was also honored by the Los Angeles City Council for her contributions to the students of Los Angeles.

In Spring 2002, New York's Blue Heron Theatre produced the sisters' musical Rockwell about the legendary artist Norman Rockwell. The show was directed by Conrad John Schuck and choreographed by New York City Ballet's Robert La Fosse. It starred Tony Award nominees Mark Jacoby (Showboat), Joel Blum (Steel Pier, Showboat), and Jane Summerhays (Me and My Girl), as well as Stephanie Pope (Fosse, Chicago), Jim Corti (Ragtime), and Robert Fitch (Annie). The Village Voice named Rockwell one of its "Voice's Choices."
