In a series of ten short musicals, contrasting pairs of ordinary heroes -- then and now, Now and Then a Hero explores how ordinary folks can do extraordinarily heroic things. Based on true stories. We meet a WWI nurse and her equivalent in modern day Iraq. A pair of coal-miners. A Chinese immigrant worker in the 30's and a rising Chinese-American journalist in 2010. Two political feminists. And a powerful pair of African-American quiet heroes.
Now seeking producers or theatrical companies for production.
Demo CD and complete script/score available.
