About Me

"So what's it like to be Reagan's kid?" asks Tony Kushner in his epic Angels in America, later answering "I think we all know what that's like."

Regardless of ones political leanings, it is hard to escape the cult of personality surrounding late President Ronald Reagan. Reagans Children: An Opera-Oratorio draws on Reagans family life as a catalyst for examining the complexities of family dynamics and the questions that we are all left with after the death of a father.

Reagans Children: An Opera-Oratorio, a work in progress, sets to music the eulogies presented at Ronald Reagans June 10, 2004 interment ceremony by his three living children, along with sections of the requiem text, patriotic standards, and Tennysons poem Crossing the Bar.

Reagans Children: An Opera-Oratorio is scored for 4 Soloists, 1 Treble, 3 pianos, String Quartet and 16 Voice Male Choir.
