A COMING OF AGE STORY ABOUT A WRITER WHO LEARNS THAT

PART OF LIVING IS LOSING

Fly More Than You Fall has a book by Eric Homes (CBS’s The Good Fight), music by Nat Zegree (CBS’s The Good Fight) and lyrics by Homes and Zegree. The live presentation will feature excerpts from the show and a conversation with the writers and creative team.

Fly More Than You Fall introduces a young girl, Malia, who deals with the tragic news of her mother’s diagnosis in the only way she knows how – through her writing. Malia crafts a tale of a young bird with broken wings who embarks on the journey of a lifetime, continually weaving in and out of Malia’s real-life struggles to navigate grief, puberty and growing up in the middle of nowhere.

Fly More Than You Fall has been developed with Syracuse University and received its world premiere production in 2019 with Utah Valley University at the NOORDA Center. The production won nine regional Broadway World awards including Best Musical and Best New Work.

THE STORY OF ENGLISH NOVELIST EMILY BRONTË

AS SHE WRITES HER MAGNUM OPUS

WUTHERING HEIGHTS

The new musical In Emily's Words has book, music and lyrics by Jessy Tomsko (Boleyn). The live presentation will feature excerpts from the show and a conversation with the writer and creative team.

In Emily's Words tells the story of English novelist Emily Brontë as she is writing her magnum opus: Wuthering Heights. Emily’s imagination knew no bounds, and in spite of having seen very little of the world, she was able to craft a sweeping melodrama that has left a legacy nearly 200 years after her death. Emily Brontë fought through adversity and illness, achieving agency in a time when women were denied it. Yet while she paved the way for female-identifying writers, Emily never lived to see the success of her own labors. Hers is a story of resilience, strength, and the greatness that can be achieved when the immense power of imagination is unleashed.

In Emily’s Words is being developed with The Combustion Collective and was a semifinalist for the 2021 O’Neill National Music Theatre Conference.
