Music Director
Project Description
Semi-staged reading of student-written jukebox musical, Rewind: A Musical.
This time bending love story will transport you back to the New York City of 1985 where art and energy collide. Behind the lines of Sofie’s manuscript and Jessie’s painting lie the keys to their destiny. Immerse yourself in the music, the era and the possibilities of what the universe has to offer. This jukebox musical bridges the past and the present with music that never gets old.
The set list includes songs such as Jessie's Girl, Feels Like The First Time, Goodbye Stranger, Telephone Line, and more hits from the 1970's and 1980's.
SYNOPSIS:
Sofie, an aspiring writer working at her aunt’s Manhattan art gallery, encounters a miraculous painting on the morning of September 11th, 2001. When the first Twin Tower is hit, the painting transports her to 1985 where she meets Jessie Phoenix, the painting’s artist. Drawn together by fate, Sofie kickstarts his career with the help of her aunt, whose intuition reveals what the future may hold. When Sofie is unexpectedly pulled forward to 2001, Jessie is left behind. His story survives through Sofie’s book, as their love transcends the test of time.

Project Title
Rewind: A Musical
What type(s) of collaborators are you seeking?
I am searching for a director and/or dramaturg to help develop future workshops and presentations, specifically a staged workshop during the fall 2026 semester.
Project Description
Sofie is an aspiring writer working at her aunt Angelina’s Manhattan art gallery. On the morning of September 11th, 2001, a woman delivers a large painting to be appraised. The first of the Twin Towers is hit and Sofie blacks out. She wakes up on the floor of the gallery in 1985 and is greeted by her aunt who is suddenly 15 years younger. She wanders outside and meets Jessie Phoenix, the artist of the painting that was being appraised. Fated to kickstart his career, she introduces him to her aunt who agrees to exhibit his work.
Sparks fly between Sofie and Jessie, and she comes to find out that the same woman that brought in his painting to be appraised in 2001 is Jessie’s best friend, Sam Easton. Jessie’s exhibit is a hit, but in the midst of the opening, he becomes separated from Sofie and she is brought back to 2001. In 1985, Sam and Angelina work together to help Jessie leave a final message in the future. Although Jessie never makes it to 2001, Sofie realizes she is meant to tell his story and writes her book about him. Sam helps Sofie promote it, and at her book signing they meet a young man who unequivocally reminds them of Jessie. No matter what happens, they are destined to be together in each life. Like a Phoenix must burn before it can rise from the ashes, 9/11 is the origin of their story as they continue to meet again and again.
Project Start Date
