It's offical! I can (at long last!) announce my new musical!
It's been killing me to keep mum, but the ink had to dry: THE BRODY BUNCH ON WILLIGAN'S ISLAND is a satirical spin on two well-loved American sitcoms. (Any guesses which two?) This show is going to be an absolute blast, and I am more excited about this project than any other I have ever worked on!
The world premiere is taking place in September at Tri-Valley Repertory Theatre. Far out! Stay tuned for more groovy details...
BEAUTY & THE BEASTY opens at The Lakeview Theatre.
