For the second year in a row, I performed at the Upper Perk Make Music Fest, an annual event on the first day of summer that celebrates local musicians in honor of June 21, which is international Make Music Day. My performance was held at the Wunderbarn in East Greenville, PA. The Wunderbarn is a farmhouse that has been transitioned into an outdoor stage. For more information about the Wunderbarn, as well as its founders Jenny and Dan, you can check its website: https://www.actsofjennius.com/wunderbarn.
This year, I performed a short play, Doomsday, USA, the story of a town with humans and monsters where Josh, the co-founder and director of an organization dedicated to co-existence between the two species, must deal with a crisis after a monster is accused of presumably killing a couple camping in the woods. This year, I am doing both live performances of Doomsday, USA as well as writing a short book with the same title.
In addition, I also played seven songs on piano from a music album I am working on called, "Fall Journeys and Halloween Tunes." Although it is the beginning of summer, many songs I compose focus on the autumn season.
In August, I performed Doomsday USA again at the Wunderbarn, but this time I changed the story a bit. Josh's organization is now a summer camp where young humans and monsters go to interact with one another and build relationships. The couple that disappear at the hands of the monster are two staff members, a human and a monster who are in a romantic relationship with one another.
The play Doomsday USA and the Fall Journeys and Halloween Tunes playlist will be a part of an act I intend to perform at other venues called Nate's Tunes, News, and Shows. This will include a small news report, a short play, and a group of songs I have composed.
