FELLOWSHIP! CREATIVE TEAMIt all started when bookwriters Joel McCrary and Kelly Holden-Basher were discussing

how some movies should never become musicals. Matrix the Musical, Exorcist the

Musical, Jaws the Musical – ridiculous! But… what if it were funny on purpose? With

that, the idea of Fellowship! the Musical Parody of The Fellowship of the Ring was

born. After writing the book, Joel and Kelly enlisted the talents of composer Allen

Simpson. Then, to workshop the songs and script, they put together an amazing cast

of improv actors including Brian D. Bradley, Lisa Fredrickson, Edi Patterson, Steve

Purnick, Cory Rouse, Ryan Smith, Peter Allen Vogt and Matthew Stephen Young.

Fellowship! opened to rave reviews, and what was supposed to be a three-week run

turned into six months of sold-out houses. 10 years and several productions later,

Fellowship! Is still going strong, having garnered rave reviews and multiple awards

along the way. The Fellowship! creative team has written for and/or appeared in

Fargo, SNL, Mad TV, The Simpsons, The Princess Diaries, How I Met Your Mother and

Scrubs (to name but a few) and has consulted with Pixar, DreamWorks Animation

and Walt Disney Imagineering. For more information or to purchase the original

cast recording soundtrack visit fellowshipthemusical.com. They want to wish Circle

Theatre a big fat bunch of success with their production and hope Circle has as much

fun with Fellowship! as they’ve had.
