OY, WHAT A LINEUP!

ALL INFO IS HERE!

***** NOVEMBER 2021 ******

***** OCTOBER 2021 ******

Syracuse University invited me up to screen IMPACT for Remembrance Week 2021.

It was an honor to attend the ceremonies I watched every year in person. And to meet this year's Remembrance Scholars, including the children of folks I went to SU with... who were there when the event happened.

SO HAPPY to return to Council Rock High School in Holland, PA for my annual vocal workshop with the choir. This time we had the combined ensembles of Council Rock North and South!

***** SEPTEMBER 2021 ******

I was thrilled to be a panelist on the last three shows of NPR's longest running gameshow/word-nerd fiesta SAYS YOU! on August 19,September 9 and September 30.

EAST COAST AHOY, FINALLY!

YA Author/Playwright Molly Horan and I spent a wonderful 10 days at Bethany Arts Community in Ossining NY (Westchester County)this fall. . We're developing our new musical for young performers, The Completely True Story of West High's 66th Annual Charity Lockdown.

***** AUGUST 2021 ******

RSVP to ME to reserve your spot in

Patty's beautiful Glendale, CA garden

Collectively, Gary & Amy have shared the stage, screen or studio with everyone from Barbra Streisand to Buckethead, Neil Gaiman to Neil Diamond, Cop Rock to Jim Henson’s Muppets, Neil Young to Florence Henderson, Peter Asher to a talking roll of toilet paper...

***** JULY 2021 ******

As we (HOPEFULLY) wind down the world of strictly online shows, join me in Virtual Pittsburgh for one last hurrah!

MY SET: Sun 7/25/21 2-3p PT / 5-6p EST CONFLUENCE is an annual "speculative fiction" conference held in Pittsburgh, PA. The event itself was cancelled this year. But not the Music Festival! Which enables the appearance of a host of cool international artists. I am excited to join a roster of truly imaginative musicians. Check out the whole event at the CONFLUENCE site, linked above. FREE Zoom concert; donations to SFF encouraged.

I'm pretty sure I'll do the Star Trek Cycle tunes....

I joined fellow LA-based composers Zanaida Robles, Paul Gibson and Michelle Green Willner

for this fascinating chat about music, inspiration and "holidays"

"beautiful... devastating... affirming... heartbreaking" "I laughed and cried and sometimes at the same time. I encourage anyone who has lost the ability to know the good of humanity among all the evil in the world to watch IMPACT." "Girl In The Garden was so moving. I never allowed myself to process this properly. That song did it for me. " "Maybe this play is what I needed to give myself permission to write about it. Or maybe the permission to give myself permission NOT to write about it." "They always say comedians are the best at drama. Amy Engelhardt is no exception... This career funny lady’s one act personal journey in the shadows of The Lockerbie/PanAm Flight 103 bombing was incredibly moving and emotionally introspective." "...she conveys her transformation of that experience over the years into something positive and hopeful....bringing such beauty and inspiration to such a tragic event...an astonishing piece of theater." "thank you for reminding us that no one is really gone as long as we tend their flame" "IMPACT is an exceptional work of multimedia storytelling... a journey that begins with horrific, indiscriminate violence, weaves in the most moving musical tribute I have ever heard, and ends in community and grace." "powerful, thoughtful, kind and compelling" "Her words, lyrics, insights and her steadfast commitment to bear witness are profound and powerful. I encourage everyone to watch this." "her formidable powers of song and story connect us" LOOK BACK, ACT FORWARD

***** MAY 2021 ******

I'm agnostic about EVERYTHING.

Then a series of startling coincidences I now call "follow-signs"

surrounding a major global event 30 years ago cropped up in my life.

And I followed them...

To a place I never thought would be so beautiful, and a story so compelling

I had to break my promise to never do a one-person show. : )

LOOK BACK AND ACT FORWARD
