On May 21st, 2022, Ted’s new musical “Pocket Universe” was featured at during the Center Gallery’s Festival of New Musicals across from Lincoln Center. The reading featured Meg Colton.

HUMAN was presented as part of the Harrington Center’s “Exploration of New Works” in March 2022.
From the panelists:
“This is an utterly, utterly original work.”
“[The] score is mesmeric. It creates an entirely different universe, an entirely different world”.

In March 2022, Ted released a concept album of his musical “Cyrano Electronique”, starring himself, Delaney Westfall, Jake Swain, Megan Masako Haley, Oyoyo Joi, and Megan Colton.

HUMAN: A PREHISTORY MUSICAL

CARNEGIE HALL DEBUT

Ted performed in The Glassbox Collective’s experimental concert/theater performance, “Music At The Close”, which paired modern compositions with text and performance inspired by Shakespeare’s Richard II. Ted played John of Gaunt.

A folk musical about a sickly boy who became President, a journey of healing, and the beginning of America’s National Parks. After a successful kickstarter (where the show was chosen as one of Kickstarter’s “Projects We Love”), Theodore In The Valley premiered in Fort Tryon Park to audiences of hundreds. Plans are in motions for Theodore to be performed again in NYC and tour to the National Parks.
