THE POET ~ A ROCK MUSICAL...

What happens when published poet Clayton Pritchard loses his gift of rhyme? He lingers in his favorite chair with pencil and paper in hand, wishing for inspiration. After years of failure, the reclusive Clayton gets pulled into a situation he is not prepared for: a reality TV show that has him dating Jamie Ann London, a beautiful celebrity actress who was influenced by the poems of his past. Staying in New York City for the duration of the show, Clayton is taken on a roller coaster ride through high profile romance and pop culture media. Will lasting love result? Will the beautiful actress inspire poetry? Will Clayton Pritchard make a fool out of himself in front of 50 million viewers? Explosive lyric and song provide power behind this contemporary musical, which explores relationships, inspiration, expression, and the soul of The Poet.
