Thomson & Mann

As a songwriting team, Jeff Thomson and Jordan Mann were recently awarded the 2008 Jonathan Larson Award. They were 2006-2007 Musical Theatre Writing Fellows with the Dramatist Guild, and were mentored by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, Richard Maltby, David Shire and Terrence McNally. They co-wrote the 2005 Disney/ASCAP Selection THE NEW KID and participated in the first ever Perry Mansfield Composer Stage Project with Craig Carnelia. Their songs have been featured in the cabaret FACING THE FACTS at the Laurie Beechman Theatre and they are currently adapting the film PUMP UP THE VOLUME as a musical stage property. Their song “When The Words Won’t Come” was published in the Fall 2007 issue of “The Dramatist”.
