PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT
FORGET ME NOT
Book & Lyrics by Kate Thomas, Music by Joey Contreras
This original musical tells the story of a remote coastal town where a whale washes ashore and brings a burst of attention back to a struggling community. Unsolved murders, tender relationships, and a media frenzy lead to an explosive reveal that makes us wonder what we would do to keep from being forgotten. The creative team has been developing the material together since December 2017 through many workshops and readings. Click here for videos and demos. A workshop production of the musical was presented October 2023 at Manhattan School of Music - photos available here.
INDIGO
Music & Lyrics by Scott Evan Davis, Book by Kait Kerrigan
Beverly braces for chaos when her mother is diagnosed with dementia and moves in with her and her husband. But when her daughter Emma, a non-speaking autistic teenager, crashes back into her life, Beverly must confront her past mistakes and work to repair the bonds of trust and family. In this original musical, Emma is able to share her experiences and inner thoughts with the audience through song and her unique gift of synesthesia.The world premier of Indigo was presented in Spring 2023 at Human Race Theatre Company.
“Conceived by Jay Kuo, Lorenzo Thione and Davis, produced by special arrangement with Sing Out, Louise! Productions, and fluidly directed by Catie Davis, “Indigo” tells a refreshing, multigenerational tale of a bruised, broken yet resilient family on the path of reconciliation.” – Russell Florence Jr., Dayton.com

GAVROCHE
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Bonnie Gleicher
Like Wicked to The Wizard of Oz, Gavroche is a new take on Les Miserables with a pop, contemporary score, told from the perspective of the teens and kids in Victor Hugo’s book. The musical stars scrappy street kid Gavroche Thenardier and his two teen sisters Eponine and Azelma. When a rebellion breaks out in Paris, they’re thrown onto the cobblestone streets in urgent search of love, family, and a new life. Listen to DEMOS HERE!
