Elon Musk and the plan to Blow Up Mars the musical
Yale Cabaret, New Haven CT
A satirical anti-musical musical, presented as my MFA thesis project, for which I wrote the book, lyrics, music, orchestrations, as well as serving as director, music director, orchestrator, and sound designer.
A fairly absurd show about destroying Mars to save Earth.

I Am My Own Wife
Long Wharf Theatre, New Haven CT

Based on the incredible true story of Charlotte von Mahldorf, a trans woman who survived in East Berlin through the Third Reich, the second world war, and the communist occupation.
I composed orchestral and chamber-style themes to accompany her story.

The Tempest
Iseman Theatre, New Haven CT
By William Shakespeare
Songs by Solon Snider
An artsy, high fashion staging, with an expansive runway set and wild costumes. I orchestrated the wonderful songs by Solon Snider, and designed a system to allow the orchestrations to seem to come from everywhere and nowhere, and to create a huge sense of the island’s environment and Ariel’s magic.
Check back soon for more tracks!
