"COMPOSER NEEDED for a new musical revue. I am a lyricist/bookwriter whose work has been seen in theatres and cabarets across the country. My writing ranges from caustic comic pieces and power ballads to family musicals and novelty numbers. Samples of my work and contact info can be found at www.JoeMiloscia.com. The musical for which I seek a composer tells a story of The Triple Dees, three sisters who became Appalachia's first country-pop semi-superstar singin' sister act. Through the songs, sibling rivalries, sentimental memories, and stories of lovers and losers (often one and the same) are revealed as the sisters reunite for a one-night-only concert after a three-year estrangement. The music will be a blend of bluegrass-inspired pop/rock. The lyrical vernacular is distinct in that the language used by the sisters can sometimes be crude, but never less than genuine and heart-felt. With songs like “Big Hair/Small Heart,” “Appalachian Cat Fight,” and “Three Make a Pair,” this will be a fun-filled musical that aims to leave audiences with a smile on their face and a twang in their heart!

"New York based Playwright/Lyricist seeking a committed composer for a new musical set in 1930's Appalachia: A backwoods boy must make his shot to win the hand of the girl he loves, and enters into a pact with the local witch to make sure he does. Musical Theater style, influenced by country, bluegrass, and folk. "

"Need lyrics set to music for nine original songs, possible collaboration on writing eight diegetic songs, and working to develop a stage musical that is something like A Midsummer Night's Dream set during a gay rodeo weekend in Denver. Screenplay version of the script has been a finalist, semifinalist and twice selected in film festival screenplay competitions."

"I was working on a new musical, adapted from my play The Equivalent of Sensation, with composer Keith Herrmann (ROMANCE ROMANCE). He very unfortunately and suddenly passed away in December. We had gotten as far as an outline together of song moments, working with our attached director Clayton Phillips (www.claytonphillips.net). That's as far as I've gotten, though I'll be working on the book in the coming weeks. So this is an opportunity to truly collaborate. There is a very well-regarded theatre in Ohio that loves the play and wants to produce the musical version in spring of 2023; therefore I'm looking for a woman composer who can write fairly quickly so we can get a first draft with some demos out in the next three months or so. This is an all-women cast with four leads and 2 to 4 women ensemble members. SYNOPSIS: Sisters Etta and Claribel Cone, long dead, materialize at the unveiling of the million dollar renovation of their renowned Cone Collection at the Baltimore Museum of Modern Art. Old friend Gertrude Stein and her paramour Alice Toklas pop up uninvited, much to Etta’s dismay. As tensions grow between the four women, they resolve to recreate their stories in an effort to uncover the truth. Etta struggles with her feelings for Gertrude and her modern art proclivities, at direct odds with her Victorian mores. Layers of petticoats are shed as Etta and Gertrude explore the boundaries of female friendship. Sibling rivalry and travel turn Etta and Claribel into the odd couple. Artwork comes to life, enticing Etta to follow her heart. Floral and piano competitions pit Alice B. Toklas and Etta against each other for the mercurial Gertrude’s affections. Evocative vignettes effortlessly transport us to Baltimore, Paris and Italy at the turn of the century. We learn what happened to derail the friendships and suspected affair between Etta and Gertrude, and how Gertrude and Alice came to be. A delectable edible scene pushes Etta to reveal who she is beneath the layers and embrace ‘sensualité’. At its heart, THE EQUIVALENT OF SENSATION is about learning the lessons of your life, the glory of feminism, and defiance in a time when women were expected to be heterosexual homemakers. "
