Playbill Songwriter Series: Will Shishmanian Presents Songs from His Folk Musical Amberland
Now live on Playbill –
Amberland (previously titled The Regulars) is a queer folk musical that follows the story of Mark Howard, a trans-man who is a transplant in a small rural town. The musical explores identity, queerness, and finding chosen family. Shishmanian wrote the music, lyrics, and book for the musical, so you can imagine how personal and introspective the project is to him. In 2022, the first draft of Amberland was performed in concert at the Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester, England. Learn more about the musical at https://www.amberlandmusical.com/.
Joining Shishmanian is Samantha Williams, Achilles Mulkey, and Cartreze Tucker on vocals and Deá Thatcher Maglione on piano. Featured songs include “Golden Glow,” “All I Wanted,” “Right On Track,” and “Finally Ready.”
