Founder of the "#Song4Unity" & "Kids Song4Unity" Projects, 2015 & 2016

“#Song4Unity” was a song project envisioned, created, organized, and led by Sahffi Lynne (they/she). The concept came to Sahffi after their first trip to Peru, when one of the residents of the Andes mountains was sharing food with their group and said, "we don't have much in the mountains, but what we have, we share." Coming home to her city in turmoil after Freddie Gray's murder, Sahffi wanted to give back to their city, but knew they didn't have much to give financially.

"The Good Person of Szechwan"

A reimagining of Bertolt Brecht's classic play, set in present-day Baltimore. As well as directing this project, I composed music for it as well. Lyrics are by Brecht, translated by Tony Kushner. This production was staged at Towson University in April, 2016. (Recordings are from the performance.)

Office Ladies

Written and directed by Lola B Pierson, Office Ladies featured music composed and performed by Alex Scally. The show explores obsession, ants, the atomic bomb, and how we use art to construct meaning for ourselves.

Parts & Labor

When you return to a garage to pick up your car after repairs, you are handed a bill for “parts and labor.” The “parts” are things like spark plugs and oil-drain pans, while “labor” is the hours spent by the mechanics. But you seldom see the mechanics at work, so it's tempting to think of the gadgets and workers as interchangeable cogs in the great machine that keeps society running.
