Gorefest: The Thirteenth

Favorite Songs from Some Shows
​
Lost Cellphone Weekend had its first staged reading in January 2023. Based loosely on the 1940 film noir Lost Weekend, it is a wry comedy that substitutes social media addiction for the original film's alcohol addiction.
​
Gorefest was an annual original Halloween musical developed for and produced by ImprovBoston every year (beginning in 2003 and continuing until the pandemic closed down the physical theater). I wrote and orchestrated the music (and crafted the occasional lyric) for nearly all of them over the course of 15 years.
Romance 101! and Hollywood Insider are several short comic plays by Jerry Bisantz that I've helped adapt into musicals. Jerry also produced Naughty Readings for Image Theater in Lowell, a cabaret of slightly risqué songs and theater pieces.
​
The History of Nails was a scripted comic musical developed via improvisation by myself, Christine Cannavo, Larry Coen, and Don Schuerman, and produced for Hovey Summer Shorts in 2004.
​
Showstopper! was a musical that I developed in conjunction with Boston's NOMTI (New Opera and Musical Theater Initiative). It had a full staged reading in 2006.
