These productions have ranged from shows with a cast of over 65

he was in charge of working with the artistic staff to schedule
and coordinate rehearsals, rehearse the singers and orchestra, and
conduct/perform the shows.

deadlines, and one of Richard’s strongest suits is his ability
to work with all sorts of people and get the job done on time.

musical direction credits for shows written by other composers.

shows he has composed.
