The Grass Harp
January 28, 2002
Book & Lyrics by Kenward Elmslie
Music by Claibe Richardson
A musical version of Truman Capote's touching and whimsical novella, THE GRASS HARP brought a cast of lovable eccentrics and an atmosphere of homespun innocence to Broadway. Bruce Kimmel of Fynsworth Alley says the "...score for THE GRASS HARP is the kind that's so rare nowadays literate, vibrant and gorgeously melodic in other words, a classic Broadway musical theater delight."

Floyd Collins
May 20, 2002
at the Pasadena Playhouse
Book by Tina Landau
Music & Lyrics by Adam Guettel
In 1925, while chasing a dream of fame and fortune by turning a Kentucky cave into a tourist attraction, FLOYD COLLINS himself became the attraction when he got trapped 200 feet underground. This haunting musical one of the most acclaimed in recent years tells the transcendent tale of a true American dreamer. NEW YORK MAGAZINE writes, "This is the original and daring musical of our day... a powerhouse" and the LOS ANGELES TIMES says "Plaintive, often inspired...Adam Guettel is a composer for the new century."
