The Artist's Way

Julia Cameron and Emma Lively have collaborated since 1998. Their spirited new musical, The Medium at Large, was praised as "A tribute to the best of Gershwin and Porter!" by broadwayworld.com after a successful Chicago workshop in the fall of 2008, starring Tony nominee John Herrera as the Medium.

Cameron and Lively have co-written four musicals and two children’s albums, and are currently at work on Magellan: One man's voyage of faith, love and uncharted waters. They have collaborated extensively with Tony award-winning director Jack Hofsiss, and their work has been performed in NYC at the Vineyard and York Theaters.  Their musical Avalon is being submitted for consideration as a workshop production in Chicago.

Producer Sharee Pemberton will be representing Cameron & Lively's works, including The Medium at Large, Avalon, Four Roses, and Love in the DMZ.
