Emerald Green

The Magdalene
Music by James Olm
Lyrics and Book by Shad Olsen and James Olm
Mary Magdalene, incorrectly dismissed for almost 2000 years as a “penitent prostitute,” may well have been not only a disciple of Jesus, but placed in a position above the other Apostles. Why was a powerful female figure downgraded as the church was created? Inspired by the Gnostic Gospels and new research. Produced Off Broadway.
Mulberry
Music, Lyrics, and Book by James Olm
In the heart of Wisconsin, a dairy farm family, spanning three generations and three wars, faces the tug-of-war of societal attitudes that deal with tradition, family, growing up, and what it is to be a man. A home-grown musical that explores many of the conflicts of the 1960’s and how they affect the family. Honest and painful, yet fascinating in its exploration.
Obits
Music, Lyrics, and Book by James Olm
A small, Midwestern town hardware store manager’s only dream in life is to own his hardware store; but, before that dream is fulfilled, he’s killed by a falling piano! On his way to the after- life, he’s met by an angel who gives him one more week of life to achieve his ultimate dream. A funny, “It’s a
Wonderful Life,” feel-good musical.
