Check out this awesome trailer we created for the new show Lysistrata Jones. It’s a truly fun evening, and everyone should go check it out!
This was pretty much the most amazing day ever.
This past week was a busy one! Along with MDing The Three Little Pigs with the West Hudson Council for the Arts, we finished up the final project of the first year in the BMI Workshop. I got to work with the incredibly talented Jake Honoroff on a 10-Minute musical called Re: My Luck. We hassled some awesome performers into putting it on its feet, so many thanks to Jeannine Frumess, Patrick Gallagher, and Jon Fuller for their enormous help. Luckily, we have a video of the reading, so enjoy!
Another (semi) song! This one’s a little old now, but it’s a favorite of mine.
This was a collaboration with the very funny Jim Merritt, a fellow member of the BMI workshop. The song was our submission for an assignment. We were to write a charm song for a musical adaptation of “It’s A Wonderful Life.” This song is for Clarence, the guardian angel, when he gets to Earth. Perhaps it’s not the most appropriate music for Clarence, but it’s a heck of a lot of fun. And I’m particularly fond of the piano part.
OK, so I’ve got this blog, here. And it hasn’t been touched or updated in about three months. And I’ve offered no explanation. Whoops. Simply put, life has just started getting in the way of producing these ditties every day, and it seems kind of silly to make them sporadically, since the whole game was that I needed to make one each and every day. It was an ongoing challenge, and it’s what made it fun for everyone.
So, that said, I’m not going to make the claim that Ditty a Day is dead forever. It’s just on a temporary hiatus, until I find myself with some more steady time to actually devote to making it a regular, ongoing thing again. Sorry if you enjoyed hearing the ditties – they’re still here, for your repeat pleasure, and there will probably be more in the unspecified future.
In the meantime, though, please enjoy this clip, showing just a little bit of what I have been up to recently. (And come see the show on November 7, if you’re so inclined! I’m the MD!)
I hate to do this, but you may be interested in seeing the show I’m MDing for the next two weeks: High School Musical, presented by Mystic Vision Players. Bring the kids! It’s a romp!
