Overview
After years as a rock musician and songwriter, Harlequin Musical Director Bruce Whitney began composing music for theater when his sister-in-law, Linda Whitney, invited him to score a production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth in the Summer of 1988. Since then, he has composed music and song for over 30 productions, including A Rock’n’Roll Twelfth Night written with his brother Scot. He has musically directed every Stardust Christmas show since 2001 and nine original summer rock’n’roll celebrations. His composition work also includes a considerable number and variety of songs, particularly for Shakespeare productions. In 2018, we are celebrating his 30th anniversary in theater with a show that features his music performed with the magic of illusion, singers, dancers, and aerial artists to explore the mysteries of inspiration.
