Honored to have written music for the play "Hit Machine" which opens tomorrow night June 14th at 7pm at the Judy Theatre at Playwrights Horizons, NYC. There is a sliding scale for tickets, so for those without the means, the event is Free. "Hit Machine," written by Jonathan Caren is part of The Working Theater's Stage Left new play festival. Obie award winner Taylor Reynolds directs. Every play is accompanied by an advocacy organization that fights for racial and economic justice — Ours is Union of Musicians and Allied Workers.
