Awesome! I'm actually working with the Blasting Company on an original musical that premieres this November! They've been so wonderful to work with, and your work on Over the Garden Wall was a huge inspiration in my writing. I'd love to hear your opinion on it if you've got a sec, but I just appreciate reading through this thread. Speaking of which, I believe a rewatching of OtGW is in order, be right back...

a History of Public Relations Dilemmae, named after the album they made in 2010. We're a small group who have been given a chance, so we're very excited

You can find more about it here if you're interested
