IN THE WAKE OF THE
LINCOLN ASSASSINATION,
EDWIN BOOTH
GOES FROM BEING THE MOST FAMOUS ACTOR
IN AMERICA
TO THE MOST SCORNED
The new musical Tyrants has music and lyrics by Alexander Sage Oyen (Outlaws) and a book by Nora Brigid Monahan (Diva: Live From Hell). In the wake of the Lincoln assassination, Edwin Booth, brother of John Wilkes Booth, goes from being the most famous actor in America to the most scorned. The lines between the past and the present begin to blur as Edwin remembers and revises his own life story, trying desperately to ascertain his own responsibility for his brother’s crime. Featuring live performances performed remotely by the writers.
Tyrants has been developed at the Penn State Musical Theatre Program, the York Theatre Company, and the Johnny Mercer Foundation’s Songwriter Colony at the Goodspeed Musicals.

AN INTERACTIVE DIARY ENTRY
THAT EXAMINES THE
ECSTASY, PAIN & HILARITY OF SEX
With book, music and lyrics by Kailey Marshall (winner of Taylor Louderman’s Write Out Loud song competition), Songs for Slutty Girls is about smashing the male gaze and finding your place on the path toward sexual liberation. The musical is an interactive diary entry that examines the ecstasy, pain, and hilarity of sex through a year in the life of one woman, who is represented by four aspects of her personality: Tramp, Skank, Whore, and Slut. This eccentric pop/rock score gives voice to the sexual moments in our lives that define us, for better or worse. The writers will present two songs from the show performed remotely.
Songs for Slutty Girls has been developed as a part of Pace University’s Pace New Musicals program.
