Sheila Weidendorf
Bio in Brief//
Something of an "accidental pianist," I returned to music a few years ago after a 20-year hiatus. I perform western classical chamber music, extemporaneous keyboard meditations, & offer piano lessons & performance coaching for teens & adults. I have also been known to provide musical direction for theatrical productions and produce other concerts and events as the mood strikes. I currently perform with my classical trio, Trio Rasa, and my improvisational trio, Trio Improviso and have also been immersed in a long-term and ongoing Brahms project with violinist Tekla Cunningham. I am the keyboardist for Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, Washington here on Whidbey Island.

Justice!
A New Musical by Lauren Gunderson
Playwright Lauren Gunderson--of The Revolutionists & The Time-Traveler's Wife--brings JUSTICE in partnership with award-winning composer/lyricist duo Bree Lowdermilk and Kait Kerrigan. JUSTICE features the “firsts” of the Supreme Court Justices. In an intimate, epic new musical built with sweeping songs, urgent conversations about equality, and deeply relatable heroines, JUSTICE explores the first women on the U.S. Supreme Court: Sandra Day O’Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor, at the height of their influence. They confront and comfort each other about equal justice under the law, legal strategy, civic responsibility, as well as husbands, motherhood, kids, dreams, and sorrows, all while setting a new course for our country and the world.
