Playwright/lyricist/bookwriter Bill Nelson received an MFA from the NYU Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program where he wrote, with composer Daniel Lincoln, "Savannah: a Musical Fable." Nelson's plays have been performed across the country and his songs have been heard at cabarets around the world, including William Finn’s "Songs by Ridiculously Talented Composers and Lyricists" —presented at both Barrington Stages and Joe’s Pub — and New York Theatre Barn's "The Oh, So Sexy Songs of Bill Nelson." A Dramatist Guild fellow and published lyricist, he's currently working with composer Anna K. Jacobs on a new musical, "Harmony, Kansas," about a gay men's chorus in rural Kansas.
Performances will take place at BSC’s Stage 2 space, 36 Linden St. on Thursday, Aug. 26 at 9:30 p.m., Friday, Aug. 27 at 9:30 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 28 at 10 p.m. Tickets are $15 (general admission) and available at the BSC Box Office, 413-236-8888 or at www.barringtonstageco.org.
