Word Nerd
Whitney Theatre at Yale University | April 22-29, 2022
This entirely original musical was a thesis in theatre for me, Simon Rabinowitz, Charlie Romano, and Will Wegner, and a thesis in music for Griffin Strout. Given the game show setting, we used animated projections and immersive staging to make this a robust concert presentation.
