Update on some of Skip's shows
Amazon listing for Skip's (and Ellen's and Tom's) show HERRINGBONE - starring BD Wong and directed by Roger Rees - which was released by Yellow Sound Label on December 2.

And HERRINGBONE was named one of 2014's Top Ten Cast Albums by Talkin Broadway in its Sound Advice column.
Information on the musical VIVA MAX! (based on the novel by Jim Lehrer, book by Julie Miller & Fred Landau, music & lyrics by Skip Kennon) is here:
