MY MUSICALS
I've been writing songs since I was 16 years old. Creating musicals is really just an excuse to incorporate my songs into a play.

SQUIRRELOCK HOLMES
A TYA Musical Comedy
The seeds are missing. The suspects are many. And the world’s most absent-minded squirrel detective is on the case! Squirrelock Holmes and her meticulous brother Wantsome investigate the disappearance of sunflower seeds from the neighborhood bird feeder. As they interview a hilarious array of backyard suspects including selfie-loving moles, dreamer tortoises, pun-happy crows, and overly strict garden gnomes, they discover that solving a mystery takes more than just collecting clues… it takes understanding why things happen.
Birdbrain
A TYA Musical Comedy
Meet Cora, a Cockatoo, whose human friend is Grandma Aviary. When Cora gets in trouble, she turns to her friends for help. Featuring a chorus of singing birds including a cockatoo, duck, toucan, vulture and dodo bird, Birdbrain is a celebration of everything it means to be a bird and everything it takes to be a true friend.
Pirates Vs. Leprechauns
A TYA Musical Comedy
When a feisty band of pirates runs into a company of leprechauns on a misty magical island, they discover they're both hunting for the same prize: Greenbeard's treasure. After fighting and competing with each other, they realize they can do better by working together. When they finally find the treasure, it isn't what they expected.
UF-BRO
A TYA Musical
When Alex’s dad remarries and moves the family to a small desert town near Area 51, she’s not just dealing with a new stepmom and a baby brother—she’s convinced the kid might be an alien.
With the help of her brilliant (and delightfully nerdy) neighbor Bert, Alex embarks on a hilarious investigation involving space trivia, the scientific method, and a mysterious local diner that might just be an alien rendezvous point.
