Guy Friends: An Original Musical
Produced by Wagner College Completely Student Productions in November 2019

The story of a group of high school best friends, who haven't quite moved on from high school. Their personal failings and hidden resentments come to a head at one of their weekly Sunday Dinners, where these men are confronted by their own pasts and the women in their lives are left to choose their futures. At once heartwarming and heartbreaking, this musical delves into the intricacies of long held friendships and new love with wit, sincerity, and an infectious contemporary score
"Small" as performed by Zac Sloan who originated the role of Chris
Daughters of Leda
A contemporary retelling of the events leading up to and directly following the Trojan War told from the perspective of Leda’s three daughters: Clytemnestra, Helen, and Phoebe, alongside the various women who enter their stories along the way. This play recasts the classic myths beyond the lens of the tragedies of war and instead focuses on themes of sisterhood, coming of age, marriages (both happy and unhappy), loyalty, legacy, justice, vengeance, and self-love.
The Above Scene, as performed by Brianna Cielo as "Clytemnestra" and Colleen Kelly as "Electra"
The Litmus Test
To be Produced Virtually by Wagner College Completely Student Productions in October 2020
This dinner is very important to Juliet because she is introducing her girlfriend Dominique to her friends. More importantly, she is introducing Dominique to Sparky, the litmus test. If a significant other is not Sparky approved, they get kicked to the curb. What will happen? Will Dominique get the seal of approval? A lot can happen over dinner when you're trying to impress your girlfriend's friends.

This Time Tomorrow: A Song Cycle
To be Produced by the Wagner College Honors Program in November 2020
A musical theatre character study. Each song provides the performers with a point of view and unique character to play with. Though there is no plot line, each song takes a full journey from beginning to end. The audience is left to laugh, cry, and do everything in between as we watch each character try to find a better tomorrow.
