Yeah, yeah. I know we’re more than halfway through the year, but I’ve got a little catching up to do…
Working with the inimitable Kate Brennan on three shows this year! Back in January, our comedy THE BLEEDING HEART ACADEMY FOR GIRLS PRESENTS OUR FIRST AND LAST ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SHOW (TBA) was produced by Steel River Playhouse, under the direction of Lisi Levi. The play is now available for licensing through Brennan & White. You can find out more about the show here – https://brennanandwhite.com/non-musical-plays/
From there, we launched into the creation of our new musical ANATOMY OF A FLOOD with the students at Arcadia University. We presented a reading of the show to the public back in June and we’re eagerly awaiting the next development opp. Finally, we’re currently prepping the first draft of another new musical entitled BOOK OF WONDER for the “In the Works, In the Woods Festival” at the Forestburgh Playhouse in September. This is the first time that Kate and I are actively creating a novel and its musical adaptation at the same time. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJZWaVPuVEl/, https://www.fbplayhouse.org/itw
BLOOD: A COMEDY (First produced in 2009!) not only got a reading at Interact Theatre in Los Angeles back in December, but a film adaptation was shot back in July and is currently in post-production. Looking forward to seeing it soon! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt32272849/fullcredits
