PLAYING
THE PALACE CREATIVE TEAM
James Merillat (music) and Dick Pasqual
(lyrics) began writing together over 15 years ago when Jim discovered that
Dick was secretly writing lyrics to all of the assignments Jim was being
given as a member of the BMI Workshop under Lehman Engel. Projects include
the revues Still Waiting (1985), Teasers & Tormentors (1987) and Trunk Songs
(1993) and the book musicals include Radio Eyes (1986), Exit Music (1991) –
winner of the first Bernice Cohen ASCAP Workshop Award, and Playing The
Palace (now). While Dick enjoys a life of leisure having successfully
retired from the publishing world, Jim works as a freelance consultant,
providing music and other theatre-related services to several companies in
New York.
Andrew Douglas Roth (book) holds a B.A. degree in Theater from The
University of Buffalo. He served as Dramaturg for The Village Theater, a
reputable Off-Broadway company and is author of several scripts for
television, film and stage. Hypnotic recently purchased his film THE LOVERS,
which he produced with writing partner Matt Unger for distribution. Residing
in New York City, Andy is the Studio Director for Cunningham Escott Dipene,
a well-known commercial talent agency. Additionally, he has produced and
line-produced several independent short films. He is currently in
pre-production on GROUP THERAPY, a film he co-wrote with Matt Unger and
