The Juventas New Music Ensemble presents scenes from five new operas by young, living composers. One of the selections is from The Ten-Block Walk: An Old-Person’s Odyssey, the opera I am writing the libretto for with composer Erin Huelskamp.
“God Bless us, everyone!” The Hanover Theatre in Worcester continues its holiday tradition of presenting New England’s largest adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic tale. You know the story, you love the message of spiritual redemption, and the love for mankind that the season brings.

American Theatre Magazine: October 2011
This time I am appearing in a magazine! Check out the October issue of American Theatre Magazine for Paula Plum’s article on “Handling the Hot Moments” on stage - a workshop she led that I was part of. It features photos of some of us from the class, including me and James Crosby. We’re in the print version and in the splash page on-line.
Lost Wax’s Seven Veils
Voted Rhode Island’s best dance company, LOSTWAX and Jamie Jewett weave a new fantasy in SEVEN VEILS, a multimedia dance based on Thalia Field’s adaptation of “Salome”. Video by Luke DuBois and choral music by Alexander deVaron provide an often-humorous score for Jewett’s quirky contemporary dance. It’s all there – the dungeon, the palace, the dance, the seductions and betrayals –interweaving voices, dancer, and projections – the re-imagined “veils” of Salome’s story.I’m working with Dramaturg Crystal Gandrud to head up the quartet of actor/singers interpreting Alexander de Varon’s score.

Are you of a singularly sanguine, choleric, melancholic, or phlegmatic inclination? If so, come see this Exclamation Point!The ninth entry in our popular series of short new works is inspired by the Four Ancient Humours, from the theory that the human body was filled with four basic substances. When the Four Humours were in balance, a person would be healthy. Disease resulted when they were not.
I am curating the evening and a couple of scenes from the chamber opera I am writing with Erin Huelskamp, The Ten-Block Walk: An Old-Person’s Odyssey, will be part of the lineup.
Benjamin Britten’s opera Noye’s Fludde opens the Falmouth Chorale’s season, with Paul Soper in the title role and Tania Mandzy as Mrs. Noah. The Coro Ragazzi Children’s Chorus and Turning Pointe Dance Studio dancers perform as ark animals. The Falmouth Chamber Players Orchestra, the Waldorf School recorder choir, and the Mashpee Congregational Church bell choir join the professional string quintet, keyboardists, and percussionists for this collaborative work – even the audience takes part! Choral works by Britten, Mozart, Tallis, Randall Thompson, and Eric Whitacre round out the program. I will be singing the part of Mrs. Jaffett, the wife of one of Noah’s sons.
