Drum Chair Holder
Aug, 2017 - PresentLempicka (Regional Production)
I've been working on developing this show with Broadway colleagues since it's earliest readings at the Williamstown Theater festival. The show is still in development, but has designs for a Broadway transfer sometime in the future. Music can best be described as film score meets electronic pop music. I play drums, percussion, electronic samples, and run Ableton for this production.
