COMPOSER | LYRICIST - Curtis Rhodes began playing the piano by ear when he was five years old. After years of participating in choirs, bands and theatre ventures, he began seriously writing music while studying acting at the Professional Actors Conservatory. Ironically, his first foray into composition was incidental music for JM Barrie’s play "The Admirable Crichton," which is the source material for "A Proper Place." Since then, he has written other works for the stage, including specialty numbers for various productions and the 1930's screwball musical "A Holiday in Hollywood" in which he wrote libretto, score and lyrics. He has also written many piano solos, choral works and pieces for chamber ensembles, most notably, “The Amherst Cycle,” a song-cycle using the poetry of Emily Dickenson. Based in Los Angeles, he has worked as an actor and/or music director with: Grove Shakespeare Festival, PCPA Theatrefest, West Coast Ensemble, Western Stage, Cabrillo Music Theatre and Open at the Top. He has also been a member of the Academy Rep Company, part of the Academy of New Musical Theatre (ANMT), dedicated to work-shopping and developing new musicals.INTERVIEW QUESTIONS INCLUDE:  What is the secret is to maintaining your focus when your pursuing a career as a composer?
