Theater obsessive and general pop culture junkie.
So I’m sitting in rehearsal for the musical I wrote. They’re doing choreography right now.

It’s such a surreal, incredible feeling to watch someone create incredible art from your work.

One day…I’d love to collaborate with a trans lyricist/book writer…and adapt I Saw the TV Glow into a musical.

One day.

is a lot like shopping for a used car.

are usually pretty old.”

26 days till rehearsal begins.

Part of what’s becoming almost a trademark is my tempo markings. I find no use in vague markings such as “allegro.” When I can give a specific BPM and then words to convey the tone. So every song is marked uniquely. A few examples…

I’ve written a musical that’s a blurry biography of Vincent Van Gogh. We were commissioned for a full production at Long Island University. Cast list was sent out today. Rehearsals start in less than a month. Follow here for the full journey!
