  • The Moment Was Now

    The Moment Was Now reveals the impassioned search for unity among the dynamic leaders of powerful social movements during Reconstruction. Like today, violence was used to defend the status quo, in that case by the KKK. The contemporary themes of the search for racial and economic justice and women’s rights reverberate throughout the musical.

  • Pray for the Dead

    Pray for the Dead is an experiment in theater, an original musical comedy written for and about working class people. While much of the mainstream theater is marketed to the relatively prosperous, Pray for the Dead is designed for everyone else. Pray gleefully inhabits the issues of inequality, greed and corporate and political corruption raised in the 2016 political campaign and beyond in an inspiring parable about an unlikely uprising sparked by a group of morgue workers.

    Pray for the Dead was shown to a variety of working class and union audiences in the Washington, DC/Maryland during the summer of 2016.
