My unexpected take on the Three Little Pigs is published by YouthPLAYS. It's the tale of three building materials who long to become houses, and what happens when they meet three pigs on the run from a big, bad wolf. Given the state of the country right now, I am so proud of this brave little play, that tells us that everyone–even a pile of straw–deserves to have their story told.
I actually set out to write a musical, and worked with the phenomenally talented Christian Regul to write about half the songs... unfortunately, Christian is so talented he was hired to go and perform on Broadway before we could finish the piece. I held on to this half-musical for years, before realizing it was better to transform it into a straight play rather than wait. But some day, some day... I'd love to finish the music for it!
