This episode features discussions about Lauren Taslitz and Danny Ursetti’s Mimosa and Will Van Dyke and Jeff Talbott’s Ten Brave Seconds. MIMOSA (by Lauren Taslitz and Danny Ursetti) - Mimosa is a plant with a special gift: she can dance. Mom begs her to stop, concerned that she could be noticed by a human. Then along comes lonely, teenage human Molly, who catches sight of Mimosa dancing and is so delighted by her, she digs Mimosa up and takes her home. Together they learn to communicate in order to unite and heal their imperiled communities. Mimosa is a cautionary tale that asks us to see ourselves as natural parts of the natural world in order to preserve and save our environment.TEN BRAVE SECONDS (by Jeff Talbott and Will Van Dyke) - Ten Brave Seconds is a new musical about the day that 16-year-old Mike comes out of the closet and the cosmic change that affects his community. Mike is about to find out that it’s on the other side of the telling that all the good stuff sits waiting. This original story is about those tiny brave seconds that make up the gargantuan moments that tell you (and the world) who you are.Featuring performances from Makai Hernandez, Diana Huey, Troy Iwata, Shereen Pimentel, Christine Toy Johnson and Angela Travino Produced by Pauls Macs Connect with Lauren Taslitz:Instagram: @ltaslitzConnect with Danny Ursetti:Twitter &amp; Instagram: @dannyursettiConnect with Jeff Talbott:Twitter &amp; Instagram: @jefftalbottConnect with Will Van Dyke:Twitter &amp; Instagram: @wvdmusicConnect with New York Theatre Barn: Support us: nytheatrebarn.org/give  Twitter: @nytheatrebarn  Instagram: @newyorktheatrebarn   Facebook.com/nytheatrebarn nytheatrebarn.org Joe’s personal Instagram: @bisforbarros  Jen’s personal Instagram: @jensandler   Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 4 -  Lauren Taslitz, Danny Ursetti, Jeff Talbott, Will Van Dyke: Mimosa & Ten Brave Seconds

We had the pleasure of interviewing Will Van Dyke over Zoom video! An established musician in the theatrical world of New York City, VAN DYKE was looking for collaborators when an email from lyricist and playwright Jeff Talbott appeared in his inbox. Like Elton John finding Bernie Taupin at the right moment, these two paths crossing would launch a strong and lasting songwriting partnership that culminates in the release of VAN DYKE’s debut solo EP, THE MAYOR. At 22, WILL hit the road with the first National Tour of Wicked playing the piano. After a brief stint on a National Tour of Grease starring Taylor Hicks, he landed his first Broadway gig, The Addams Family. Jumping from The Addams Family to Rent led him to Kinky Boots, where he was part of the music team with Cyndi Lauper. The relationships built on Kinky Boots led to the musical version of Pretty Woman and working with Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. Currently, VAN DYKE is the music supervisor of Little Shop of Horrors, for which he also served as orchestrator and arranger. He was nominated for a Grammy® Award in 2020 for his work on the Little Shop of Horrors cast recording.We want to hear from you!
