Upcoming Projects
>>> Bruce appears as Gavin in the world premiere of Family Tree by Erin K. Considine at Plays of Wilton April 18 through May 12, 2024.
A gay son returns to his childhood home to wrestle with the death of his abusive father, his mother's rapidly declining dementia, and his Pollyanna-ish sister's fear of letting go and moving forward. A funny and moving family drama that everyone will recognize themselves in.
>>> Bruce stages the oratorio Considering Matthew Shepard with the Master Chorale of South Florida at Sunshine Cathedral in Ft. Lauderdale May 31 and June 1.
A breathtaking musical retelling of the tragic story of Matthew Shephard, a young gay university student who was brutally murdered in Laramie, Wyoming in the fall of 1998.
>>> Bruce is writing the book for a new musical called Prodigals featuring bluegrass and folk songs written by The Lubben Brothers. Watch this space for info on further developments!
In the summer of 1950, shared tragedy reunites an estranged West Virginia family against their will. As their secrets, lies, loves, and resentments are revealed, will the choices they make bring them closer together or tear them apart forever? Loosely inspired by the story of the prodigal son, PRODIGALS explores the humanity behind our collective need for connection, forgiveness, belonging, and a place to call home.
