Other recent credits include the following musicals:
Little Shop of Horrors
Bye Bye Birdie
Fiddler on the Roof

The Frog Chronicles
Oh dear.. so many frog chronicles, so little time.
One day, I got the idea to carry a theme through my isolated works. The theme resolved around a stuffed frog. A very good frog indeed..
The theme, over the years, has ranged from the frog ignoring my every advance, to finally joining me in a holy matrimony of ballet bliss.
Any one of these chronicles might appear (and have appeared) at a random variety night or performance exhibit.

Moments
A full-length story, told through movement, of a man and a woman who were meant to be together, but who never found each other.
Moments was a final project of mine during my senior year at Indiana-Purdue University of Fort Wayne. Allison Eby-Gerardot was the co-director/creator. Awesome woman!
