Find A Collaborator

"I have written 23 songs for a musical that focuses on classic (Robert Johnson) and contemporary blues (ZZ Hill). I need an artist-composer musician to score the songs. The musical is tentatively titled "The Last Lion" and is focused on the mid to late 1980s when blues music was taking a nose dive. The lead figure in the musical, the Last Lion, is one the last blues musicians still hanging on. What's the turning point? His last song titled "The Last Lion" becomes a hit, crossing all cultures and topping the charts. Idea: I am considering making the Last Lion an African American female. My cellphone is 205-602-6157. Call me Greg or Gregory. I am not the last lion. (LOL)"

"While adapting a humorous & uplifting children's book I wrote into a stage play, it suddenly hit me: "Hey, Blake! This is more than just a comedy. It's a funny bone-tickling musical for youngsters and their parents!" So I'm now seeking a collaborating composer-lyricist partner who is talented, experienced in this area, and waaaaaaay fun to work with. If all this resonates with who and what you are, please share with me some of your experience and relevant songs which you believe will resonate with me. Thanks in advance for your time, interest, and positive vibes! Blake"

"Dear Potential Collaborator, 🎼🎭 As a grateful member of the Dramatists Guild, I am currently seeking a talented collaborator to join my creative team. Specifically, I am looking for someone who can bring their expertise in music composition and direction to enhance my upcoming theatrical production of my One Woman Play. At this time, I am exclusively considering individuals based in the UK.

Warmest regards, Nataylia Roni :)"

"I’m a playwright. I have an eighty-minute comedy crying out for music. My last play, also a comedy, made it to finalist best production at the NY Theater Festival and would have won, I’m convinced, had it delivered a musical component as part of the performance. “Cruising” is about two married couples “on the rocks” needing to reignite their relationship. Grudgingly, opposite partners agree to a cruise to a magical Mexican temple said to bring life back into marriages. Aboard the ship they encounter a young flower child girl and her dull Ivy League boyfriend contemplating marriage. All three relationships are really mismatches and by the end of the play all but one are rearranged. This is a cast of seven including the foil, a cruise director. The draft is written but I will rewrite to accommodate music and lyrics. I’m not looking for a full-blown musical but 2-4 pieces to spice up the story. This will run early 2025, most likely at the festival. I haven’t cast the play, hoping to find an upbeat composer-lyricist collaborator. "

"Oft-published, critically acclaimed dramatist seeking inspired and talented collaborators, especially 1) a composer and 2) a director/choreographer for a bilingual play (mostly English, some Spanish) that will be presented for a couple of nights in October in Los Angeles (with an eye towards bigger future productions). The work is a play with music (not a musical) that's set on a fictional, Caribbean, Spanish-speaking island in the 2020s, and two of the characters consider themselves plena musicians. If this project is of potential interest, and/or if you have any questions, please contact me asap. Thanks!"

"Hello, I am a playwright/book writer looking for work on any new projects, punch-up writing or otherwise. Extensive comedic experience, and a passion for collaboration. Reach out if you are in need of a book writer or playwright for an existing project or a new idea. "

"While I’m mainly a composer, I’ve been active as a theater arranger/orchestrator too. If you have a project that needs help completing the music and arrangement, or if you have some musical ideas but need someone to refine them, let me know if I can join your project. I have availability alongside my other commitments. I am an NYC-based Off-Broadway composer with the following credentials: Composed over 40 musicals, plays, and shows since 2012. Graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Contemporary Writing and Production. One of my musicals received an industry presentation at Signature Theater NYC for two days. Involved in many On-Broadway shows as a keyboard programmer at Strange Cranium Production (The Great Gatsby, Days of Wine and Roses, 1776, Shrek 2024 Tour, etc.). Since my capacity for taking on new songs is limited, I may need to prioritize certain projects. Feel free to reach out and discuss your needs."
