“Jumping twenty or so years later, Ann Ciccolella, artistic director of Austin Shakespeare, approached me with the idea of staging Anthem. She had heard my film score to Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life. And she said, I want to do Anthem as an oratorio. Well, I figured what she meant was a straight play with music.” WantYearsWellsSaidIdeasPlayFilmHeardDirectorsTwentiesArtisticScoreJumpingAnthemAustinStagingFilm Scores Author:Jeff Britting
“I love film scores and opera, and I wanted to work in those forms. But theater was more accessible. And no one was doing this in the late 1970s, when I began working in the theater. So, I have written scores for thirteen plays, which are not musicals, but straight plays.” PlayWantedFilmFormWrittenLateTheaterScoreOperaThirteenLove FilmsFilm Scores Author:Jeff Britting
