Main-Travelled Roads

Paul Libman (Composer)

Dave Hudson (left) and Paul Libman (right) began working together in 2002, after Paul left a successful advertising jingle career for the much more lucrative and reliable world of musical theatre.
Less than three months later, they landed their first professional contract with American Folklore Theatre, where their initial collaboration, Muskie Love, played for two summers.

In 2004 they created Dust and Dreams: Celebrating Sandburg (originally Bringers). Dust and Dreams won the 2005 Richard Rodgers Development Award for New Musicals, and was also presented at Chicago's Stages Festival of New Musicals.

Their next effort, Main-Travelled Roads, was selected for the 2006 Stages Festival, was featured twice in the Madison Rep's Festival of New Plays, and was the winner of the 2007 Richard Rodgers Award. Produced at AFT in the fall of 2007, Main-Travelled Roads was presented at the New York Barrow Street Theatre in March 2008.

Paul and Dave's newest musical, A Cabin with a View was commissioned by AFT and played to full houses throughout summer 2007. Work is currently underway for their next AFT commission.

Both Dave and Paul are alumni members of the Musical Writers Workshop at Theatre Building Chicago.
