Many composers and their lyricist counterparts tend to work regularly with the same performers. Frequent Elderwise presenter Phil Simmons will share how some of the most famous composer/lyricist teams have helped make the careers of certain performers – and vice versa. Phil Simmons is the Director and a professor of Musical Theater at Eastern Michigan University, and a card-carrying member of the Actors Equity Association. He has lectured and taught master classes in dance across the United States. Phil’s passion is teaching the next generation of actors, singers, and dancers to be happy, thriving, career-long performers.
