My Mission:
Kids inspire me and so does musical theater. Using a measure of both, I write musicals that tell stories of unlikely, unsung heroes; a girl who fights her computer from a wheelchair, a boy who creates a green monster that can only sing. I aim to write stories that are honest, fast moving and believable--yet full of magic. And I don't write happy endings, just satisfying ones. I want to see young people and their families as both actors and audience for my work. I want to show them that musical theater is every bit as gripping and in many ways more alive than an action film.
