Special Programs
Gateway: Coming to America
Gateway: Coming to America began as a one-man theatrical performance — a 45-minute show Phil performed for audiences across the country. The production’s evolution now takes shape in the form of a book, which is now available for purchase. Soon, it will be available for licensing as a full-scale featured production. The story lives on.
Leadership Lessons Shared From the Piano
Phil shares leadership lessons through this inventive presentation of Broadway songs and stories. Learn how A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum almost closed before it opened because it didn’t tell the right story. Learn how in South Pacific, Rodgers and Hammerstein II stood up for the humanity of people. Learn how Stephen Sondheim would tailor his creations to the talents of his team. And learn so much more. By the end of the program, you’ll be humming a new leadership tune.
PLEASE NOTE: a piano is required for this presentation.
