So excited to finally share this comedy (with 3 songs!) with NYC! And what a cast! I'm in playwright heaven watching them. We're almost sold out (for real) but if you want to come, let me know! I'd love to see you there! xDavid

“ORVILLE AND WILBUR DID IT follows the lives, loves, sadnesses, ecstasies, hopes, fears and egos of five actors and a stage manager in a van doing a non-Equity, 58-city tour across America. Can a children's theater musical about the Wright Brothers (including a magic singing bird) survive the troupe's inappropriate hook-ups, self-medication, rampant drug use, credit card scams, and pipe dreams of bringing the show to New York City?"

“Orville and Wilbur Did It!” may well be the most completely off-the-wall production I’ve seen in the past five years. The New Colony world premiere about a touring children’s theater company is a fast-paced frolic that lands squarely in whacklandia — and that’s a terrific place to spend the show’s 100-minute running time… Set primarily in anonymous hotels, school auditoriums and a cramped van that ferries the cast across the country like an NC-17 rated version of the Partridge Family, “Orville and Wilbur Did It” is ridiculously rich with off-the-wall, utterly believable dialogue. Peppered by composer Eric Svejcar's Zoom-worthy numbers, [the show] explores the manic teeter-totter ride that is a career in the arts - or really, a career in anything - CHICAGO SUN TIMES 6/23/14
