I co-wrote the book for R-E-S-P-E-C-T, a stage musical set during the height of the Sixties Civil Rights Movement, with Marco Williams, the award-winning African American documentary filmmaker. The show is scheduled to premiere at Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre in Atlanta during the 2025-6 season. The story follows rival groups of Black & White high school students in a small Mississippi town as they're tested by the struggles and turmoil of the times.

I've also been working on a 6-character social comedy with adult themes and a 6-character family music hall about disinformation.

I began my career in London, where I co-wrote / co-directed “The Doom Duckers’ Ball” at The Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, and adapted/directed “Foam” by Peter Handke and Hans Magnus Enzensberger at The Institute of Contemporary Arts. I then moved to L.A., where I directed my Delta Blues musical adaptation of Garcia Lorca’s “Yerma” at The Odyssey Theatre, co-wrote the book for "Heat Wave" for Berry Gordy and Suzanne dePasse at Motown, and wrote the book and co-wrote the lyrics for "Swan Songs" at The Cast Theatre and for "Paradise Loose" at Kelbo's Tropical Ballroom. I have also sold original screenplays to most of the major studios and TV pilots to all of the networks. One of them became a hit sitcom for CBS.
