Cruel Shoes mood board
Check out my CRUEL SHOES mood board; this is something I threw together, a mood board of themes and inspirations for my new backstage musical comedy, with a score by Ross Patterson, which will be given a concert reading at this summer’s NYMF festival.
The opening song CRUEL SHOES is sung by Christiane Noll, Chuck Cooper, Ron Bohmer, Mary Testa and the ensemble from our original online demo.
This is my libretto for the ENO Mini Opera Competition, THE MOTHER OF GOD. I used Neil Gaiman’s SWEEPER OF DREAMS as the literary source of inspiration. Thanks.

This is the libretto to SEED in case you want to read it or follow along with the score; this was the final class project for myself and composer Gerald Cohen, as part of a year long fellowship with American Lyric Theatre, in the Composers and Librettists Development Program. A great program headed by Larry Edelson.
