Brief Synopsis:
Emma has always lived between worlds—the reality she inhabits, the past she clings to, and the stories she creates. But when love, betrayal, and hidden truths threaten to unravel everything, she’s forced to confront what’s real and what’s just a story she’s telling herself.
Blurring the lines between fantasy and reality, this musical is a sweeping journey of love, loss, and memory. But beneath it all is a celebration—the love we carry, the people we refuse to forget, and the stories we leave behind.
Staged Performance in our NYC Studio:
The week culminates in the WORLD PREMIERE of DON’T FORGET ME: A NEW MUSICAL, for an audience filled with family, friends, and industry guests!
