I'm happily composing and performing music for theater in Bellingham, Washington. The massive All Our Tragic at the Idiom. At the New Prospect Theater: Green Snake, the Elaine Horn tribute, a dip into the spirit of Purcell and the Renaissance for Much Ado About Nothing, Fractured Fairy Tales with the Unsubdued Theater Collective and coming up in January of 2027 Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet).

The Unsubdued Theater Collective and I are talking about creating a series of podcasts based on The Worm.

If you are interested in pushing on the boundaries of music, let me know. I think there's a place for unusual collaborations in this part of the Pacific Northwest.

Except for the professionally produced Karma Casino, please bear in mind that the songs here are rough, home studio drafts designed for discussion and review, mixed for headphones.

I know you'll respect copyright and hope you enjoy.

• The Blaine Community Theater for a 'table reading' of The Worm

• The New Prospect Theatre in Bellingham, where (in addition to cast work) I've run sound and lights for several productions, read letters at Jayne's 'To Whom It May Concern' gatherings, offered a songwriting series in the front theater space, and helped build a set for David's Julius Caesar
