Big thanks to Players Workshop grads who acted in a book-only table reading of Opera Cat the Musical. Listen to demos of our 8-song score on our website. While marketing Opera Cat to theater and education directors, Steve and I are working on our next show. Keep creating! Travis Bates, Beth Delaney, David Goodloe, John Magana, Sally Osborne, Tony Pai, Gina Phillips, Courtney Roberts, Ameer Ross & Charles Schoenherr.

Opera Cat the Musical is a one-act show based on the award-winning book by Tess Weaver and Andrea Wesson. It features original songs and opera arias, echoing the charm of animated classics like Inside Out and Beauty and the Beast.

Jim O'Heir -- a Players Workshop grad -- appeared today on CNN's short list of talent to play Tim Walz. And why not. Makes sense to pick one helluva lovable talented guy to play another helluva lovable talented guy. Btw, the role of JD Vance will be decided on the casting couch. Or any couch.
