Words + Music
Along with marketing and communications,
I spend time on various creative projects, some of which involve providing the words to music written by collaborators.
A Pint of Understanding
An original musical, A Pint of Understanding offers a varied jazz-inspired multi-genre score written by Joel LaRue Smith and Joseph Smith. The work is an examination of racism, class, perspective—and hope. More at pintmusical.com.
Synaptic Fires
My dramatic monologue, "Synaptic Fires," was performed as part of Over and Above, produced by Brave New World Repertory Theatre. Directed by Claire Beckman and featuring Teri Brown. Read about it in Broadway World.
Circle of the First
I developed the concept and wrote the text of the choral work "Circle of the First," celebrating First Nations and indigenous lifeways. Music by Robert Terrio. It premiered at Rider University.
