I'm a playwright, lyricist, and novelist looking to write a musical with a strong collaborator. My ideas are generally contemporary settings and don't involve huge casts. I have a couple of pieces already written (book and lyrics) but I am open to working on other ideas as well.
I have a background as a musical theater performer, so I know a bit about music and can sing. I just don't play an instrument.
I'm based in Portland (Oregon) but am open to a long-distance collaboration.
I may be interested. I am a composer/orchestrator/arranger and have many professional credits as well as having produced 14 albums, 9 symphonies and many short works including over 700 soundtrack cues.
John Webber, DMA, Composer, Arranger, Orchestrator, seeks works. Over 40 years experience in Europe and the US. Has worked professionally as composer/arranger of many musicals and has composed and performed in the theatre. Reasonable rates.
I have just come upon your listing.If you haven't found a composer yet, I'd be interested in exchanging work samples and discussing possible collaboration. I have a video made at a retrospective concert of my theater songs which I'll be happy to send you by regular mail since I don't have it electronically. Please send me your address.
