In 2013 I was hired by playwright Nancy Machlis Rechtman to write music for her take on the children's classic, The Emperor's New Clothes. Nancy's lyrics are clever and fun.  The show was commissioned by the youth theater program run by the Greer Cultural Arts Council (SC).  Click below to watch excerpts from the production. I also created pre-recorded musical arrangements, i.e., you are hearing me play all of the instruments.  In September of 2020 the show had a production at Taylor County Middle School in Perry, Florida and in spring 2023 the show was produced in two Pennsylvania venues by In2YouArts.  Threads-The Musical is available for license from Heartland Plays, Inc.
