He followed it up with another holiday hit: CHRISTMAS IN OZ in 2017. Ron looks forward to recording the score in the near future. In 2021, during the Covid Pandemic, he created the musical film short ONCE UPON A TIME STEP and released the soundtrack album which contains the eight songs from the film plus eight more songs from his one-act musical fairy tales. Ron subsequently performed leading roles in musical comedies throughout the nation, and in productions for The Walt Disney Company and National Public Radio. He has performed onstage alongside many celebrities including Debbie Reynolds, James Earle Jones, Lea DeLaria, Nancy Dussault and JoAnne Worley. While working as a performer in Las Vegas (!), he founded the children's theatre company The Palace Players, writing and producing seven original musicals in a three year period for the Excalibur Hotel and Casino (the most successful of which played well over a thousand performances). His writing on classic film musicals appeared in the internationally published periodical Hollywood Studio Magazine.  He now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and occasionally performs with several theatre companies there. Since 2005, he has been the resident musical playwright for the East Bay Children's Theatre, the oldest continuously operating theatre company in the SF Bay Area, debuting over a dozen new works with them. 

  NANCY DUSSAULT began attracting national attention at Northwestern University when her junior year photo as “Miss Student Body,” appeared in “Life” Magazine. While still at Northwestern, she performed as a guest soloist with The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, winning two Young Artist Awards from the American Society of Musicians. After graduation, Dussault appeared in N.Y. clubs like The Blue Angel and The Upstairs at the Downstairs. Dussault received sensational reviews and was warmly embraced by New York audiences for her Broadway debut in the Jule Styne, Comden & Green musical Do Re Mi. Critics responded to her voice, her versatility and her ability to confidently clown alongside established comedians and co-stars Phil Silvers and Nancy Walker. She earned her first Tony Award nomination, and was tapped to appear on America's most-watched TV program, “The Ed Sullivan Show,” where she was heralded as Broadway's brightest new star. She was only 19. The next year, she stepped into the role of Maria on Broadway in The Sound of Music. She followed with roles in Bajour, Side by Side by Sondheim and Into the Woods, receiving the Theatre World Award and multiple Tony nominations.
