Composer-lyricist Craig Carnelia talks IS THERE LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, his contributions to WORKING under Stephen Schwartz, and an un-produced show titled, THE NEWCOMERS. Carnelia takes us through his songwriting process, including how shows evolve and songs are added even after the premiere. A talented performer in his own right, Carnelia performs several of his own songs, some of which have never been heard before, including a duet with Maureen Silliman, who was in the original cast of IS THERE LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL?

Featured songs: “The Kid Inside,” “Just A Housewife,” “Joe,” “Something To Point To,” “Two Birds,” “Fran And Janie,” “I’m Glad You Didn’t Know Me,” and “The Mason.”
