What's Hereville?
Hereville is a new musical that I am writing with my longtime friend and collaborator Robby Sandler. Based on the award-winning graphic novels by Barry Deutsch, it follows Mirka, an eleven-year old girl in a small Orthodox Jewish town in somewhere suburbia.
At its essence, Hereville is a story about a stepmother and stepchild learning to love each other that happens to feature a sentient meteor, a little witchcraft, ghosts on the moon (not spooky ghosts!), and lots of kugel.
