ALIVE AT TEN
Book by Kirsten A. Guenther    

Music and Lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver

Official Selection ASCAP/DISNEY Musical Theatre Workshop 2007

Conceived at the Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program at NYU-Tisch, Inspired by the true story surrounding the Pamela Smart teacher-student sex scandal (1991).

SYNOPSIS

“Ever since she can remember, Kimberly "Kimmie" Sharp has dreamed that she would one day become America's next beloved media personality á la Barbara Walters. Just one problem: she's stuck in a dead end job teaching at the local high school, and her discouraging, undermining husband would prefer she stay that way. But Kimmie's not fazed; once she sets her mind to something, you can bet her husband's life it will happen. It's just the story of a woman and her dream, and her sheer determination to make it come true at all costs-- even if it means manipulation, seducation, and/or murder.

Dreams don't die... but people do.”
