Tor’s live event status culminated with the White House Easter Egg Roll four consecutive years in a row.
In musical theatre, Tor wrote and produced Greenwood, an original musical for the stage, which premiered at the 2011 New York Musical Theater Festival (NYMF). With Lisa Rothauser, Tor wrote Stealing Time, which premiered at the NYMF 2012 and has since been featured at the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival and at the Johnny Mercer Writer’s Colony at Goodspeed Opera House. He also co-wrote and musical directs LIFE. Who Knew?, a one-woman show that tours across the country. He is also currently commissioned to write Green Acres, The Musical and is working on several original projects as well, including Love. Who Knew? With actor/author John Cariani.
