Jonathan Larson Grants Recipient Concert!

in ,

I was lucky enough to receive a Jonathan Larson Grant in the spring of 2020, just as everything shut down. On Monday, the American Theater Wing hosted a concert celebrating the last four years of winners who never got to have an awards concert. I was honored to have the talented Sarah Lynn Marion sing the title song from my musical BORDERLINE. Check out a few photos below from the event, courtesy of Broadway World!

I am so damn excited to be opening my adaptation of Shakespeare’s “THE TEMPEST” this summer at the Delacorte in Central Park (August 27 - September 3rd)! My first New York City production! This Public Works production is directed by Laurie Woolery, music directed by Andrea Grody, and will feature an ensemble of 80 non-professional community performers in addition to a handful of Broadway performers. Come join us this summer for magic, music, and mayhem!! Visit the Public’s website for more info!
