It’s June, and by now most schools are out for summer break – yay!
Thankfully (because I love to write), I’ll be working throughout the summer. I have at least one commission on deck, tentatively titled TWO-FACED: A TRAGEDY…SORT OF, a highly theatrical comedy about what it takes to be part of every group at school.
I’m also revising HORROR HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL (which I may retitle “Horror High: The Musical”) for Gladstone High School’s summer program. I’ve found a great composer, Ryan O’Connell, who is revamping much of the music, including adding two new songs to the show! I’m thrilled to have a chance to revisit this show and do the rewrites necessary to make it awesome. The script should be available Fall 2012.
I’m also working with a great group of playwrights on a collection of ten-minute plays called EXPOSED! TRUE STORIES OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. Each of these pieces will be perfect for forensic competitions and festivals, so keep your eyes peeled for the Fall 2012 release of this hilarious collection.
In early late Summer/early Fall I’ll be traveling to California State University: Stanislaus for a workshop production of my new musical ANGELS! This is a family-oriented musical about the Afterlife. Basically, the entire audience has passed on, and while they wait for their paperwork to be processed (because even in the Afterlife civil servants move slowly), they are entertained and educated by a group of angels performing a musical review. I’ve already done one staged reading of the script, and am really excited to get it up on its feet this Fall!
I hope you all have a great summer!
