Star Machine
A veteran musician joins a TV talent show in one last bid for stardom before the clock runs out… he’s turning 34!
A two-act comedy, STAR MACHINE explores fame, artistic craft, and coming to terms with growing older.
STAR MACHINE features a diverse, multi-genre score include Pop, Rock, Country, Rap, and more! Unlike traditional musicals, all of the songs in STAR MACHINE are organic. No spontaneous breaking into song!
You’re the Worst!
You’re the Worst, a one-act comedy, follows a young couple on a wacky road trip as they navigate their post high-school relationship.
Pittsburgh Musical Theater was scheduled to premiere You’re the Worst in May 2019; however, they have postponed until the Spring of 2021 because of COVID-19.
During the Summer of 2020, while in quarantine, we performed a virtual read-through for a small audience.
