Keith Varney

Keith is a theater geek who grew up on a dirt road in Vermont who—after a detour at opera school—ended up in New York City writing—and occasionally performing in—musicals. He is a Star Trek nerd, a hockey nut (go Bruins!), fantasy football champion and walking contradiction. After becoming an award-winning writer of musical comedy, the next step was obviously a apocalyptic horror series.

He has written Book, Music and Lyrics in various combinations for I GOT FIRED (Best American Musical - DIMF, Theater for the American Musical Award), ELWAY: THE MUSICAL, THE OTHER SEX, JOSHUA: THE MUSICAL, PIE EATER, BLOODY BLOODY ANGELA LANSBURY: MURDER SHE WROTE LIVE & SCOOBY DOOSICAL. He has also written songs for Submissions Only, Hot Mess in Manhattan, See You Lighter, My Mother is a Sex Therapist & Dystopia Gardens. As an actor he has performed professionally in musicals including Les Miserables, The Producers, The Full Monty, Titanic and I Got Fired (Best Actor in a Musical - DIMF). He has a degree in classical voice from the Eastman School of Music. He now lives in Astoria NY with his wife Jillian, who is a Broadway actress. "The Dead Circle" is his debut novel.
