20 Seconds the Musical
Book by Tom Sweitzer
Music and Lyrics by Tom Sweitzer and Kyle Boardman
Soon after his success in his one-man show 20 Seconds, Tom began to work on a musical adaption of the piece. The musical has been composed alongside Composer and Arranger Kyle Boardman. Now, three years and four New York readings later, the show has formed into a 115 - minute powerful musical starring a cast of ten.
The show has been in development with Producers Ben Graham and Mrs. Jacqueline B. Mars, along with Frank Baltz and the Loudoun Community Foundation and A Place to be, all under the General Management of Joey Parnes Productions.

I am one of those lucky people to have had reconciliation with a parent before their death. Simply, as an Italian chunky little boy and only child living in a blue-collared town in the 70’s with a dying mom and a schizophrenic dad, I was in danger. One day I couldn’t take it anymore so I crossed the street on my own and ended up on the steps of a church. I was guided across the street by the music that I heard pouring out of the windows. When those doors opened, my life changed. I found much more than religion within that church. I found Music, Hope, and Love.
This is a picture of Erdean, the Sunday School teacher who met me that day and changed my life forever by showing me music. This picture was taken many years later, a year before she passed away.
