Earth to Kenzie, a youth opera by librettist Jessica Murphy Moo, marketing & communications, and composer Frances Pollock, premiered in Chicago this fall, with public family performances in November. After Kenzie and her mom are displaced from their home, Kenzie relies on her imagination, the wild and funny antics of her video-game avatar, her mom, her teacher, and a new friend from the family shelter to get through a tough time. The show also involves Fortnite dance moves and space kitties. See these links for more.

Jessica Murphy Moo was also asked by Portland Monthly to write about her predecessor, the late Brian Doyle, on the occasion of a new collection of his essays (One Long River of Song: Notes on Wonder) being released by Little, Brown on Tuesday, December 2. See the article at this link.
