I know you are a composer and
have written a musical before.
Does music play a role in Goat-
man?
I’ve written mainly plays, and
thus far just one full-length mu-
sical, Soul Searching (with com-
poser Avi Kunstler), along with a
devised musical piece that started
out as Generations and ended
up called Out of Whack. All are
considered rock musicals, and
we anticipate a revival of a re-
vised Soul Searching sometime
in 2019. Goatman is a play, a
comedy, sometimes described as
a pseudo-Southern Gothic dark
comedy drama. However, even
more important than the movie
influences are the musical influ-
ences of/on the piece. It is entirely
written with music in mind - to
have certain rhythms, so to speak -
and karaoke plays a big part in the
2013-based Act II. For this play, my
musical influences ranged from
Kenny Rogers to Prince to Stevie
Nicks to Ozzy Osborne to Iron
Maiden to The Smiths to Dinosaur
Jr. to Husker Du to The Meat Pup-
