MEET ME THERE, the Interfaith Musical, is going to NYC
Since the very first notes of music and words that tumbled out during my "cosmic download" 10 years ago, I have always felt this was a project inspired in heaven.. My belief is that peaceful co-existence is indeed possible in this world, in our lifetime.
Imagine Fiddler on the Roof meets West Side Story, a musical that celebrates our diversity on one stage - reflecting Indigenous, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, New Age, Evangelical, and atheist communities. A musical like this has never been created before, but Interfaith the Musical - MEET ME THERE - is not just a musical. IT IS A MOVEMENT.
The Theater for The New City, an off-off Broadway theater in New York - with a long, distinguished history of supporting first-time playwrights with a socially relevant message - just offered me the opportunity to produce the musical on their stage in lower Manhattan. The theater will provide me with free rehearsal space and the stage venue for a three-week run. But it is now up to me to raise a minimum of $200,000 to produce the musical. This entails hiring the talent, the crew, and a team that includes the Director, Music Director, Choreographer, Set Designer, 4-5 Musicians, Orchestration, rehearsal time, and legal fees. That’s a lot of money, but not in the New York theater world.​
I know I can do it with your help and the combined efforts of the interfaith community in our country and beyond. Help take MEET ME THERE to the stages of the world.

"I can see it on Broadway!"
These are the words members of the audience invariably call out when they hear songs from the album: INTERFAITH: The Musical.
People immediately recognize that this is a musical for OUR times — for skeptics and believers, for traditionalists and reformers, for parents and their children.
Be the first to hear the unforgettable melodies and lyrics. All proceeds from the sale of the albums will be used to fund the musical. Thank you.
Even if our children don’t follow the path we laid out for them,
don’t they still need our blessing?

When Maya, a Jewish mother, and Qaletaqa, an Indigenous father, forbid their children to marry, they unleash a huge interfaith and inter-generational storm.

With lyrics both hilarious and heart-rending, MEET ME THERE: The Interfaith Musical invites us to examine our long-held family values and traditions while we simultaneously celebrate our ever-expanding religious and cultural diversity.
