THE MUSES
Book, Music and Lyrics by Liam P. Mulligan

William Albright, a struggling opera composer, finds that his best friend and muse, Laura, is engaged to an electrician after being gone on a week-long Spring Break trip. On Laura’s wedding day, William appears before the wedding to tell her how he loved her, and then he leaves her to begin a five-year search for closure filled with 8 doppelgänger “Lauras” based on the Greek Muses. 

Be inspired by THE MUSES on Sat, April 5 (tonight!!) at 7:30PM. And thanks to Liam for sharing some pics and vids from the show’s journey.
