ᐧGIRLHOOD, a song cycle following a group from the beginning of middle school until high school graduation, intended to be performed by school groups, premiered in July 2019 and has held several additional productions. THE LAND OF FORGOTTEN TOYS was developed as a female-led holiday show. It had a premier commercial run in November-December 2019 at the Greenhouse Theater Center, Chicago, Illinois. Most recently, after the emergence of the pandemic in 2020, THE MYSTERY OF CUSTODIA was developed as a virtual show where performers rehearse at home, then video their performances which are integrated into a web-based show. It is currently being performed across the United States.
