We had an amazing time putting Noise on its feet for our (sold out!) reading at Emerging Artists Theatre! I’m enormously grateful for this beyond incredible team, and so proud of the work we did. Next stop: Noise‘s six-week residency at The Tank!
We start rehearsals this evening for a reading of my new musical, Noise, at Emerging Artists Theatre’s New Work Series!!! Would you believe I am beside myself?? Would you believe I will sleep 0.5 hours per night until this thing happens??

The beautiful faces of the talented people I was able to rope into this thing HERE:
Ah!!!
It was an absolute privilege to hear my “muse,” Kevin Murphy, sing the song I wrote for him S O beautifully, and to share the bill with so many composers and performers I admire!
Read the whole BroadwayWorld review here, and catch a very sweet few lines about my song, Goodnight!
EDIT: And the video is in, too!!! Ugh – just look at him go!
I’m so excited to be writing a song for the 2022 MuseMatch concert this March at The Greenroom 42!
Created by Bill Coyne and music directed by Nathan Dame, MuseMatch is a concert of new songs born from a series of “blind dates” between composers and performers. I’ve been tasked with writing a song for Kevin Murphy, who I’ve loved getting to know! A bit about Kevin:
As an actor, Kevin was an original company member of the First National Tour of the Tony Award winning musical, The Book of Mormon. Other credits include the Off-Broadway production of The Awesome 80’s Prom, in addition to With Glee, and The Happy Embalmer at NYMF. Kevin is the creator/star of Craig Stevens Guide to Making it On Broadway and the Bistro Award winning concert series, If It Only Even Runs a Minute, which have both played to sold out houses around NYC.
I’m so excited to see him breathe life into a song created based on our conversations! Many thanks to the MuseMatch team for the opportunity to have a hand in such a unique collaboration experience. It’s been an absolute pleasure so far, and I can’t wait to hear the other songs which are sprung from this beautiful process!

I’m so excited and grateful to tune into Common Ground Theatre Company‘s reading of Noise tonight as a part of Disruptive Compassion, their virtual new works series! Common Ground Theatre Company is a team with a refreshingly clear mission statement:
“Digging to unearth inevitable common ground by curating space for creation, discussion and disruption.”
– and is comprised of even cooler people. Check them out, and join us for the reading and talkback tonight on Zoom at 8pm EST!
I’m so excited to share some tunes from Painting Faye Salvez and Noise in this month’s Tin Pan Alley 2 Concert Series: Celebrating Women+ Writers, and incredibly honored to be sharing the bill with two composers I’m mildly obsessed with – Tidtaya Sinutoke and Katya Stanislavskaya! Some insanely talented people will be performing my work, which has already been such a gift.
The concert will be streamed on Friday, August 27th, at 7:30pm EST. If you’re as pumped as I am for an evening dedicated to showcasing and uplifting women+ writers, you can getcha (free) tickets here!
In-person theatre?! In England?!
I’m so excited to see a song from Noise performed by Emily Hall at Titchfield Festival Theatre, as a part of their New Songwriters Concert! Titchfield Festival Theatre is Europe’s first sustainable theatre – even their stage lighting is powered by solar panels! – as well as a really exciting spot for Shakespeare plays, musical theatre, and new works. So it’s safe to say I’m majorly geeking out!
If I happen to have any friends in England I don’t know about, go support this awesome theatre, and catch the New Songwriters Concert this Saturday! Anyone interested in live streaming it can reach out to me for a link.
I was so excited to be selected as a finalist for the York Theatre‘s 2020 NEO Concert for Emerging Writers this past March. When the event was cancelled due to the pandemic, I was psyched to be invited to share a few tunes in the York Theatre’s (virtual) New Works Concert! The event will be streamed on the York Theatre’s Youtube and Facebook pages on Friday, January 22nd, at 7pm.
Some seriously talented actors will be singing ~never before heard~ songs from my new musical, Noise, alongside selections of new work by other awesome emerging composers!
What the heck! My ego is the size of the moon right now, because Broadwayworld.com shared this article about my work in advance of the Allen & Gray Musical Festival’s New Voices Concert. Take a look!
You know that Twilight Zone episode, “Time Enough At Last“? A theatremaker graduating into a pandemic feels a little bit like that. That said, I’m grateful for a lot of things these days, not the least of which being the Allen & Gray Musical Festival’s New Voices Concert Series!
Tune in HERE on Monday, September 28th to hear some new work by a spicy lineup of awesome emerging writers! Who knows, there might be a song or two of mine in there too 🙂
EDIT: They wrote a lovely Broadwayworld.com feature about my work!
