Key People

Assembly of the cast and crew created a synergy to have the work gain a life of its own. The origin of the work starts with Bill Mullin, who is a life-long producer of marketing campaigns, music for media application, tech solution application development and creative living. From his song writing, he added orchestrators and arrangers to complement the intended emotional moments to portray.

Ric Flauding brought a west coast jazz, Christian worship and cinematic scoring flair, having arranged for David Benoit, John Patitucci, Eric Marienthal and Russell Ferrante, as well as working for Willow Creek and Crystal Cathedral. Carl Marsh is a consummate icon in Nashville orchestration, amplifying songs from Cirque de Soleil, Amy Grant, Manhattan Transfer and Michael W. Smith. Robin A. Smith has an extensive arranging background in British pop, rock and classical, having worked for Tony Visconti, the legendary producer of David Bowie, T-Rex & Roxy Music. That led to The Moody Blues, Stevie Wonder and Andrea Bocelli. Phillip Keveren, a master in Nashville, conducted the orchestrations, as well as writing a few himself. Up & coming Christopher Gentle was hired for a copyist role, but also co-arranged tracks with Bill.

Doug Thiesen acts as musical and content quality assurance and spiritual guidance, having 35 years in music ministry and production. His approach to the contemporary church has been innovative and widening, bringing that vision-building to the collaborative, to reach into the open marketplace.

A first of it’s kind ~

Bill Mullin, the creator/producer reflects, “Once the songs materialized with collaborating artists, the project took on a life of its own. The songs kept coming, growing to 25 over three years, forming an overall dramatic arc with spoken word narratives of the stories within the songs. Now, that is long-form.”

The narrative that emerged represents a vulnerable, thoughtful Musical Memoir. The intention was clear, as Bill Mullin asked “why should the audience care?”

The answer was so you could see yourself and own your story, at your particular stage of life. The 5 Acts of the musical depict each of life’s stages and phases in the scenes and song.

The producer’s dilemma was how to deliver this long-form. What to do? The answer?
