12-Minutes in the Golden Cage – A Musical Synopsis
This is a ‘work-video’ of my musical “The Golden Cage” that I made for my development collaborator, Paul Gordon. It’s a 12-minute ‘short story’ version – or musical synopsis – of the 75-minute, 2-character show....
When the End Comes (from ‘The Ground Zero Club’ Musical)
North Korea. Nuclear war. It’s easy to forget the intensely personal side of the immensity of nuclear war. It hit me in the 80’s and I wrote a whole musical about it. This is the song that started my journey into the darkness I hope never comes:...
Ute’s “In the Wings”
I originally wrote my one-woman show “In the Wings (or “What the Hell are you Doing in the Waiting Room for Heaven??”)” in 2008 for a premier at the the Central Square Theater in Cambridge. A year later I performed it in a full-cast version in Seattle. After that...

Finding the Golden Cage … again
I’ve been up burning the midnight oil, and editing “The Golden Cage” a musical I’ve been working on for over 40 years. Tonight I was editing the audio cuts so they work better with the script. Because, as of last week, I now have a script. Tonight I was...
Original Musical “The Golden Cage” – Private Reading
I know it’s kind of a tease to tell you about an event that you probably can’t attend, but I’m so excited about this that I want to share it! On Sunday. Nov. 16 at 6:30pm, ??there’ll be a private, unstaged reading of my original musical...
