Anita & Tommy take on NAMT!

Five years after presenting Pregnancy Pact, Julia and I are ecstatic to have another show in the National Alliance for Musical Theatre’s Festival of New Musicals!

And with a new opportunity comes a new title…

First it was PIED!. Then it was I Love You, Anita Bryant. And now it’s The Loneliest Girl in the World!

Mark your calendars for October 27 & 28, 2016. We’ll be sharing the first 45 minutes of the show! And we’re lucky to do it alongside so many wonderful friends like Mindi Dickstein & Kirsten Guenther (Benny & Joon), Brett Ryback (Joe Schmoe Saves the World), and Scotty Arnold & Alana Jacoby (Mortality Play.)

Be on the lookout for more information over the next few months!

REB + VoDKa + ME Demo!

Have a listen! Julia and I are so thrilled to share these 16 tracks with you…

Thanks to superstars Ally Bonino, Hanako Greensmith, Sam Heldt, Kelsey Lake, Evan Maltby, Lauren Marcus, Elexis Morton, Matthew Oster, Allison Posner, Libby Servais, Rich Silverstein, and Emily Walton.

And a HUGE thank you to our engineer, Andrew Zinsmeister, who went above and beyond to make these sound so great!

ACROSS THE RIVER highlights

Back in 2013, a workshop production of Across the River was presented as part of the Seoul Musical Festival. It’s been almost three years, but I’m so happy to now be able to share highlights from the show!

The video features performances of the songs “Not Me,” “You Gotta Do It,” “Baby Boy,” “If I Ran the Moon,” and “River on Fire.” The cast and design are phenomenal!

This was the only presentation of a work of mine that I wasn’t able to see live, and I’m so happy that I finally get to see some of the show now. Enjoy!

Next Friday!

We’ve got an amazing group of singers joining us to share the first material from REB + VoDKa + ME!

Come on up/down/over** on Friday, May 20 to see Ally Bonino, Hanako Greensmith, Sam Heldt, Kelsey Lake, Evan Maltby, Lauren Marcus, Elexis Morton, Matthew Oster, Allison Posner, Libby Servais, Rich Silverstein, and Emily Walton! (It means a lot to have all these people, from all along our writing journey, back with us to try out something new. And we’re thrilled to work with a few new folks at the same time!)

And if you can’t make it next Friday, fear not! This whole crew will head into the studio to record the new material, so be on the lookout for a link soon.

**Don’t be afraid of the waitlist! Once you’re confirmed, it’s first-come, first-served at the door.

The initial sharing of REB + VoDKa + ME!

Ben, Julia, and I are so excited to have our first chance to share material from our new show, REB + VoDKa + ME in The Civilians’ Findings Series. On Friday, May 20 at 7pm, we’ll share a dozen or so songs with a glorious, almost-finalized cast of 13! Read all about the other shows from the R&D Group and reserve your seats now.

More info coming soon!
