IN A SUNSHINE STATE
A fictional romance set against the real-life reign of the infamous Florida Legislative Investigation Committee. When quiet (and closeted) Professor Evelyn Pierce falls in love with Betty— the spirited new Dean at Tampa University— her light is switched on like never before. But as historical and personal pressures mount, Evelyn will have to choose between the life she’s known and a challenging new reality.
With a lush, contemporary score and a heartbreaking, historically-inspired story, this show has been selected by the Rhinebeck Writers Retreat and by San Diego State University for production in 2024.

THE NICE LIST
“The Nice List” is a hilarious and heartfelt musical that proves we don’t have to be together to be together. When Santa decides to spend the Christmas season telecommuting to the North Pole, it’s up to two mismatched elves to manage the famous Naughty-and-Nice List. But what if nobody’s all naughty or all nice? Does anyone really belong on a “list” anyway?
With an enchanting score, an offbeat sense of humor and an exciting, diverse cast of Broadway stars, this is sure to be your new favorite Christmas spectacular!

Go! Go! gilgamesh!
Didn't read "Gilgamesh" In high school? Now you never have to!
The world's first written epic gets a joke-folk makeover in this spirited romp through ancient Mesopotamia. It's about love, friendship and the adventure that defined humanity as we know it. Also, there's a conga line.
“Go! Go! Gilgamesh” was produced at Frigid Fest NYC where it won Best Musical and the Audience Choice Award. it was also featured at “Bound for Broadway” at Merkin Hall in 2018.

“The single greatest play I’ve ever seen.”
The New world
Plymouth Rock lands on its head when some high-class locals suddenly find themselves surrounded by a bunch of smelly, incompetent Pilgrims. Can a pair of star-crossed lovers force their families to get along before it's too late?
“The New World” had a full production at The Bucks County Playhouse in 2017.

“AWESOMER & AWESOMER is a little gem: hilarious, smart, heartfelt, and beautifully performed. I had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the best revue I’ve seen in years.
”
awesomer & Awesomer
Songs, songs and more songs. This is a tiny but thrilling revue of some of Phoebe's greatest hits that weaves a thematic narrative across big issues like love, death and tacos.
Recently produced at the Legacy Theater in Connecticut, “Awesomer & Awesomer” is a showcase for weird and funny female performers.

The dirty hippie jam band project
A gaggle of super-fans are determined to follow their favorite jam band to the ends of the earth. Will they let love, psychedelics or even reality get in their way? Umm...maybe?
This is an old-fashioned romantic comedy set among the port-o-potties of a modern-day concert circuit.
