Hello!
Molly and Clayton here. We love writing musicals. The whole process. The idea, the first draft, the thirtieth draft, the readings, the workshops, all of it. We created Script & Score as a home for the musicals we’ve written together, as well as the skills we have mastered along the way that we want to share with you.
In addition to our shows (please take a look!), we offer industry standard materials prep, custom orchestral tracks and licensing for your upcoming reading, workshop or production. We can’t wait to work with you!
