My artistic career has always involved my two loves: music and live theatre. Originally a book editor and author of a novel and more than a dozen non-fiction books, I was commissioned to write the book, lyrics, and music for a 75 minute youth musical (produced three separate times), have written several plays (one commissioned, another in the process of being commissioned, and three professionally produced thus far), and the libretto for a youth opera (work in progress). In 2021 and 2024 I took part in 28 Plays Later, a UK literary challenge to write a play a day for the month of February in response to a new prompt sent every 24 hours . Additionally, I arranged music for a women’s jazz quartet of which I was (primarily) second soprano for eight years, took an online course ( with Marjorie Chan) on the writing of librettos, and have become known as “that person” who writes new lyrics to a song from every community musical I perform in so I can sing it at the closing/strike party. And I’m EXACTING when it comes to scansion! I also do freelance copyediting for Playwrights Canada Press, including on the opera-libretto–related collection “When Words Sing.” I’m a passionate believer that the book, lyrics, and musical composition must work fluidly and seamlessly together, with each pulling equal weight, to maximize the understanding and impact of the show on its audience.…My artistic career has always involved my two loves: music and live theatre.
