TRUE HERO
Book & Lyrics (in-progress)
Ambitious TV Reporter Molly wants a story. Eager Probationary Firefighter Patrick wants a fire. It's September 10th, 2001 and unfortunately, both their dreams are about to come true. But when Molly shares Patrick’s story with a public hungry for hyperbole in the aftermath of September 11th, she undermines the firehouse’s attempt to recover, much to the chagrin of Cassidy, the seasoned fireman of the house. Set against the backdrop of the post-9/11 media circus, True Hero juxtaposes a love story set in firehouse culture with comedic satire as evident in songs that include “Go Shopping!” “Ground Zero Hero” and “Ode to Staten Island.”
