I’m currently working on an original musical that blends mystery, music, and memory. It follows a group of adults who stumble into an abandoned theater… only to discover the ghosts of forgotten performers — and the stories they were never allowed to tell.
With themes of courage, self-discovery, and giving voice to the unheard, this production will include:
A powerful ensemble
Haunting and hopeful original songs
A layered, heart-forward story suitable for school and regional productions
✨ Stay tuned for casting calls, workshop details, and script previews in the coming months!
