PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT
THE BRASS TEAPOT
Book by Tim Macy & Ramaa Mosley, Music & Lyrics by Chaz Cardigan, Co-Conceived by Erik Kaiko
Alice loves John. John loves Alice. Their only problems are that they are underemployed, their high school bully is the landlord, their former friends are either too rich to care about them or just as broke as they are, and their luck shows no signs of improving. That is, until a seemingly random series of events brings a mysterious ancient object into their life: a brass teapot that magically spouts money when it senses pain. Soon, Alice and John are living debt free…but how far will they go to win unlimited fortune? Break a tooth? Break an arm? Break a heart? Based on the 2012 indie cult film, The Brass Teapot is a magical, mischievous, dark comedy that warns us to be careful what we wish for.
The Brass Teapot is being presented at NAMT’s 36th Annual Festival of New Musicals on October 24 & 25, 2024.
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.
