Harper Craven

I am a Baltimore, MD based Playwright/Composer/Lyricist aiming to write musicals that appeal to both younger audiences (Elementary/Middle/High School) and their parents alike. I studied Musical Theatre at AMDA NY and have training as a Composer and Lyricist from teachers like Hughie Stone Fish, Billy Seidman, and Jody Gray. Some of the projects I've worked on include Insanity In The City at the Hudson Guild Theater in 2017 (Book, Music, and Lyrics), Mecklenburg County Song and Dance Competition with Miller Street Dance Academy in Charlotte, NC in 2023 (Co-wrote the Book with Thommie Retter and Brandon Jarrett), and most recently Christopher Robin and Pooh: A New Musical at Green Room 42 in April 2026 (Book, Music, and Lyrics) which was presented by award winning Director/Choreographer Andrew Winans. My musical style is very much an eclectic mix inspired by Contemporary Musical Theatre, 70s and 80s Pop/Rock, and artists such as Jonathan Larson, Stephen Sondheim, Alan Menken, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, and Lin Manuel Miranda. I'm passionate about writing pieces that entertain the children watching while teaching them valuable life lessons along the way, while simultaneously interweaving complex life lessons that the adults can learn and be entertained by as well.

Austine Bambrook

Alongside a career in design, Austine writes fiction, creative non-fiction, short plays, and the book for original musicals that blend emotional realism with theatricality, often drawing on folk traditions, political undercurrents, and deeply human contradictions. In 2025, Austine’s short stories were published in multiple anthologies and magazines and had a short play performed off West End. Her current musical projects include Chiff, a folk-influenced musical inspired by the history of Robert Clarke, the inventor of the tin whistle, and La Pequeña, a flamenco musical exploring artistry, family, fame, and what happens when passion becomes labour. Austine’s work is especially interested in people caught between worlds — tradition and reinvention, duty and desire, performance and truth — with a strong focus on emotionally complex characters and socially resonant themes. As a late-diagnosed autistic transgender woman, Austyn brings a distinctive perspective to stories about identity, belonging, and self-authorship.
