Mayday Productions Resume



Bill Fagan BOOK & LYRICS			Jeff Scott COMPOSER
After meeting at "The Hilarions" (during their three year run at Theater/Theatre), and collaborating on numerous mini-musicals for them, in 1992, Jeff Scott and his writing partner Bill Fagan formed Mayday Productions. Their first show was a comedic mock-u-musical revue: "Bombed A Lot! The Music of Peter Buoy Wryder". Their next project was a big-book musical: "Til Death Do Us Start". In between, they continued to write specialty material for many cabaret performers, and comics in the Los Angeles area. Their final project together was "I Was A Teenage Homo!" a disco-encrusted homage to the classic 1957 B-werewolf movie. Sadly Bill Fagan passed away on January 1, 2005, leaving most of act 2 unfinished. Jeff finished the show on his own, staged a reading for Theatre Neo (where he's been their sound designer for 9 years), and is thrilled that Theatre NEO presented the world premiere production in Los Angeles, Sept., 2007. Now the show has been translated into Spanish as it gears up for the first international production in Mecixo City, Mexico (FALL 2009).
