theatre
Theatre is the ultimate collaborative sport. Please call me. I love to play.
Career highlights include getting a call from Hume Cronyn to write the music and lyrics for Foxfire, starring Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy and also featuring Keith Carradine. I collaborated with the Cronyn’s for over five years and Jessica made me the first cucumber sandwich I ever ate! I was also commissioned to co-create the long running (ten years) extravaganza, Enter The Night at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, featuring original songs and score for forty beautiful dancers, ice skaters, circus performers, comics and specialty acts.
Last year I began my collaboration with director, Michael Bush. Together we are launching my new musicals: Himself and Nora, at the NYMF Festival July 9th and 40 Naked Women A Monkey & Me at the Eugene O’Neill Cabaret Festival August 10th. Additionally, AMAS will be producing a full workshop of my next show, MENU. Hope to see you there!
