Rick is really happy to be working with award-winning composer/director Content Love Knowles. Content composes music, plays piano and percussion and guitar, and sings in several bands. Her original musical scores for Sleeping Beauty and Dark Goddess received B. Iden Payne and Austin Critics’ Table nominations. She received the Austin Critics’ Table Award for Best Original Score for Bent. Content has appeared in more than a dozen plays at Vortex Theater in Austin.

Content Love Knowles has created a new post-performance musical group called the Criminal Cabaret that will be performing in the lounge of the Vortex Theater following selected productions on the mainstage.

" . . . the music was marvelous, cinematic, defining, thanks to Content Love Knowles, she of the Quaker name and nimble fingers on the keyboards." - Michael Barnes, Austin American Statesman
