Career

At the age of 18, Singer co-founded the General Amazement Theater in Santa Rosa, California, which produced three musicals in its first and only season, including Singer's original adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.

Upon his return from studying drama in London, he co-founded the Reduced Shakespeare Company,[1] whose three-man farce The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) has been performed around the world, including nine years in London's West End.

In 1989, Singer moved away from the theatre to design theme parks at Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI). He specialized in model-making, production design and field art direction, working on Splash Mountain, Toontown, Animal Kingdom, and Muppet*Vision 3D. While at WDI, Singer co-founded the Flower Street Players, an in-house theatre company for Disney employees, where he co-produced six plays, and starred as Snoopy in You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, as well as serving as the show's director and designer.

Singer left the theme park business in 2000, and returned to writing for the theater. His works since then include A Perfect Likeness, a comedy about a fictitious meeting between Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens in 1866, that premiered at Paper Lantern Theatre Company in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in April 2013.
