DEPRESH MODE at Evolution Festival

I wrote a musical! Over the last year I’ve been collaborating with Elise wien and J.C. Pankratz to create a new musical, DEPRESH MODE, and this September we presented a staged reading as part of the Center at West Park’s 2024 Evolution Festival! More information here.

About Depresh Mode

The stakes are high and the serotonin is low in this one-act musical about a medical startup testing its groundbreaking new antidepressant, Enditol. But there’s only one spot left in the clinical trial—how will they decide their last test subject? A song contest, of course. Follow eight contestants and their intrepid host on their journey toward mental health, high notes, and one very big pharmaceutical crown.
