Book & Lyrics by Alexandra Collier

Music & Lyrics by Greta Gertler Gold

​

In the 90s, indie rock band Triplight was poised on the knife edge of fame. But just before their first album was set to be released, the band tragically disappeared. Until tonight, 20 years later, when their charismatic lead singer Willow Spark will emerge from hiding to reckon with a past that will push her to the brink of life and death.

 

With an original score fusing indie pop and 90s rock, Triplight is an irreverent, dark and quirky new musical that explores the precarious life of a musician in the nostalgia-strewn past of New York City. 

​

Triplight was first produced at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theatre, May-June, 2019. Developed at SPACE on Ryder Farm, Rhinebeck Writers Retreat, Ucross Foundation, NYU Playwrights Horizons Theater School, The Tank NYC and the Hayes Theatre (Sydney). 

​

“In 2011, an Aussie playwright and musician met for the first time in a Brooklyn café over burritos. As expats getting by on two-minute noodles, sweat and ambition in NYC, they found they had a lot in common. So that fateful day, they decided to write a musical. How hard can it be, they thought?!” - Ally Collier & Greta Gertler Gold"
