What I Do

Current projects:

CONVERSATIONS WITH OURSELVES

A collaboration with Jo Lampert, (the star of David Byrne’s JOAN OF ARC: INTO THE FIRE).  Our two-person show, CONVERSATIONS WITH OURSELVES  is being developed by The Longwharf Theater.

Collaboration

My favorite thing is collaboration.

Whether it is music directing, vocal arranging or singing, recording or writing musicals, the most important thing is to be able to stay open, honest and willing. Best idea in the room wins, always. That’s ultimately what it comes down to. Being of service to whatever you are creating.

Here are some collaborations that I’m proud of:
