Benjamin Franklinstein: The Musical

This week, after about five years of work, Benjamin Franklinstein: The Musical opened at the Theatre Institute at Sage, at Russell Sage College in Troy, NY. It runs through Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022 and you can find more info and order tickets here: theatre.sage.edu

This is the result of a long collaboration between my co-author of the book, Larry Tuxbury, and Sage musical theatre professor Michael Musial. I couldn’t be more happy with the way this strange, funny musical turned out. Everyone involved, from the actors to the designers to musicians to the stage crew pulled together to bring this to life in a way I never dreamed possible. If you get a chance, come check it out!

The Fright Brothers Arrive!

Yesterday, the UPS man arrived with the first copy of Benjamin Franklinstein Meets The Fright Brothers, hot off the presses. (Larry doesn’t even have his copy yet.) I’m very excited about this one!

It picks up where the first book left off, but I think we were really able to take it in some interesting new directions. Look for it in stores in just a couple weeks.
