“The most pizzazz of any recent show at the Marriott, partly
due to the singular orchestrations…”
– The Chicago Tribune
on Damn Yankees (2023)

Recent Projects
The Battlefields of Clara Barton
For the latest musical by Suzan Zeder and Jenn Hartmann Luck, I got in on the ground floor, transcribing all of Jenn’s original guitar demos and arranging them for piano.
GRETEL! (publishing a new musical)
It’s hard work preparing anything for publication, and the music of GRETEL! requires actor-musicians, careful timing of dialogue, and a cello part chock-full of extended techniques!
A Chorus Line – in Sonoma, CA!
It’s always a thrill to return to this classic, this time as a copyist. Teaming up with orchestrator Bryan Eng, I provided Transcendence Theatre Company with some charts to kick off their season!
Shooting Star: a revealing new musical
I was the lead copyist for the debut production in LA at Hudson Mainstage, and I’ve been thrilled to see its recent NYC outing take off.
Hello, Dolly! @ Northwestern
For Northwestern’s 77th annual Dolphin Show, I put my hand in as a copyist and music assistant.
A Chorus Line @ Northwestern
I kicked off this year as a copyist, preparing parts for Bryan Eng’s clever reduction of A Chorus Line at Northwestern University!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with many incredible artists. Mind if I drop some names?
