This chapter examines the work of Stephen Flaherty. Flaherty decided on a career in the musical theater early on, hooked by a local production of Godspell (S. Schwartz: May 17, 1971). While attending the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, he was invited by Lehman Engel to join the BMI Workshop. Flaherty moved to New York in 1982, just after Engel’s death, and began working the following year with Lynn Ahrens (born October 1, 1948), a writer/producer of children’s television shows.
