"Social Studies" is a four-minute, rapid-fire satire about power, politics, and popular culture, seen through the lens of characters who spring from the mind of actress, playwright and author Iris (e-reese) Bahr. Raised in both the Bronx and Tel Aviv, Iris has traversed the globe and has a unique take on just about everything. Her memoir, "Dork Whore: My Travels Through Asia as a Twenty-Year-Old Pseudo-Virgin" was published in March 2007 by Bloomsbury. Her solo show "Dai," a one-woman multi-character play about Israelis, has been performed Off-Broadway as well as at the United Nations and the Edinburgh Festival (August 2007) and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. "Social Studies" characters include Svetlana, Russian prostitute to Hollywood stars and political heavyweights.
