After a three year delay, The Magnificent Seven will receive its world premiere at Flint Repertory Theatre from March 31-April 16, 2023!
I can’t wait to be back at Flint Rep (in the heart of gymnastics country) for the next incarnation of The Magnificent Seven. The theater (and the people who make it) have been so supportive and stuck with us through, you know, a global pandemic, and it means so much to go back to the place that heard it first. FULL CIRCLE!
Also full circle… It means so much to be working with director Catie Davis on this project. We were with her in the rehearsal room for Pregnancy Pact in the first week of March 2020 when we all realized just what was going on… And since that production never made it out of the rehearsal room it feels good and correct to be back together to see this one through!

We are honored that REB+VoDKa+ME received an Honorable Mention for the 2022 Relentless Award, in honor of Adam Schlesinger, for works that “are challenging, exhibit fearlessness, exude passion, and are relentlessly truthful.”
It made it that much better to see that some of our very favorite friends and writers who are making some of my very favorite musicals were also recognized.
Thanks to the American Playwriting Foundation for this honor!
Walking on Water Productions’ New Original Works Festival included readings of Something Blue! I’m so glad that we had the chance to return to this project for the first time since 2020 so that we could do some long-awaited rewriting.
It was lovely to get to present our work in Julia’s hometown of Ithaca, NY, and was especially lovely to work with some wonderful new friends and collaborators: director Sarah Plotkin, music director Jeremy Pletter, stage manager Quin Frederich, and actors Hannah Avery (Joelle), Seamus Buxton (Geoff), and Paul Morgan (Casey).
The show was presented November 6, 12 & 18 at the Cherry Artspace. The festival included readings of Extended Stay by Jenny Stafford & Scotty Arnold and Onward and Upward by Charlie Romano & Will Wegner.
Thanks to Priscilla Hummel for including our work in WoW’s festival!
