Stage

  • 1988: Carrie was initially a flop on Broadway, but has since gained a cult following. The musical was revived at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York, directed by Stafford Arima from January to April 2012. On September 25, 2012, the first official cast recording was released.
  • 1990: Ghost Stories was an adaptation of Stephen King's short stories "The Return of Timmy Baterman," about zombies; "Strawberry Spring," about a campus serial killer; "Gray Matter," a black comedy about a hideous mutation caused by a bottle of beer; "Uncle Otto's Truck," and "The Boogeyman," about a distraught father's encounter with a child-killing closet monster, as well as selections from Pet Sematary. Adapted and directed by Robert Pridham, the play premiered at the Arts Center Theatre at Kent Place School in Summit, New Jersey, and toured the United States in the mid-1990s.
