The plot of Meanwhile, Back at the Castle is very simple.
In this retelling of the classic Cinderella story, Emma is infatuated with Nick Sheridan, a popular movie star. When she learns that she has an opportunity to meet Nick in person, Emma is so caught up in the moment that she faints.
Emma awakes to find herself in a strange world where everyone calls her Cinderella and where it is not uncommon for everyone to break out into song and dance.
In her musical fantasy, Emma discovers that her father’s fiancee is Cinderella’s wicked stepmother and Prince Charming is none other than her handsome crush, Nick Sheridan.
Having finally met the man of her dreams, Emma decides to play along, knowing that Cinderella will live happy ever after – or will she?

Musings of a Playwright
This year marks the 10th annversary of the first community theatre production of my musical, Meanwhile, Back at the Castle. The production was produced by Wasatch Theatre Company.
I was excited to see the musical that I had worked on for so many years finally on the stage. It was not a perfect production. It was performed in the fellowship hall of a Presbyterian church, the set was minimal, and we had just a piano for accompaniment. But the actors were enthusiastic, the costumes were wonderful, and the production was sold out almost every night. It was a joy to see it each night, to hear my words spoken and my songs sung by actors.
Since that first production, Meanwhile, Back at the Castle has been produced two additional times, once again at Wasatch Theatre Company, and almost four years ago at Draper Historic Theatre. I hope to see it produced many more times, and, like a true playwright, I hope to one day see it produced in New York City, even Broadway, or London on the West End.
In this blog I will document my experiences in writing and productions of Meanwhile, Back at the Castle.
