Broadway Bound: Kait Kerrigan, Brian Lowdermilk, and Matt Doyle

Kerrigan & Lowdermilk received a Jonathan Larson Grant and a Jonathan Larson Fellowship at the Dramatists Guild. Their collaborations include The Woman Upstairs, Wrong Number, Tales From the Bad Years, and The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown. Their adaptation of Henry & Mudge opened Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on December 17, 2006 and recently concluded its fourth national tour. Their most recent project, "The Freshman Experiment" (Fresh X), followed the lives of two bloggers as they navigated their freshman years of college. Kerrigan and Lowdermilk used the posts as inspiration to develop a living, online musical. "Last Week's Alcohol" (below) is a product of Fresh X.

Matt Doyle is an exceptionally talented performer. Before moving to New York, he studied classical theatre at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He is most well known for singing the role of Peter on the studio recording of Bare: A Pop Opera, as well as for the numerous tracks he covered as a swing in Spring Awakening. Doyle recently appeared as Hugo Peabody in the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Bye Bye Birdie. He will be performing at Scott Alan's Birdland concert on April 12th.
