About us!
Amanda D'Archangelis (Music) and Sami Horneff (Lyrics) met in the world-renowned BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop. After being paired for the final project of their first year course, D'Archangelis and Horneff quickly realized they had found a life-long partnership.
That class assignment later developed into their first full-length musical together (and their Off-Broadway debut as a team). Single Rider ran at the Players Theatre in Greenwich Village for five weeks in the summer of 2018 and was subsequently presented at the University of Alabama.
Amanda and Sami's other recent work includes The Radium Girls: A Jaw-Dropping New Musical (in collaboration with Lisa Mongillo), which premiered as a virtual production through Western Connecticut State University in 2020 and won five national awards at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in 2021; The Break, which had its premiere reading in 2018 through the Omaha Creative Institute and has since been showcased at Lied Center for Performing Arts; and Coming Attraction, a new musical about the life of Hollywood icon Greta Garbo, which premiered at the Wilbury Theatre Group in Providence, RI, and will soon have a staged reading at the York Theatre Company.
Their work has also been performed at famed concert venues across New York City, including The Green Room 42, The Duplex, Prohibition NYC, Lincoln Center, Rockwood Music Hall, The Bitter End, The Metropolitan Room, and Feinstein's/54 Below. Recently, D'Archangelis and Horneff wrote two songs for the feature film A Ring for Christmas, which played on the UPtv network throughout the 2020 holiday season. In 2019, they were named York Theatre Company’s New/Emerging/Outstanding (NEO) Writers.
