I write songs for theatre. I gather women to sing them. I believe in art as activism.
I have four shows in development and share videos of people singing those songs here.
These shows are...'The Precipice', 'Spiral Bound', 'Edmonia', 'Showing Up'

"Totes Livin' My Best Life" - Showing Up
Longtime friends Miranda and Vanessa dream of leaving small-town America to become the “Matt Damon and Ben Affleck of Broadway,” all while raising two children each in adjoining brownstones-preferably in matching outfits. But the harsh realities of adult life in the big city test their friendship, resilience, and creativity to the limits.
This semi-semi autobiographical musical, best described as Broad City meets The Last Five Years, explores motherhood, identity, and friendship with humor and a vibrant score. Showing Up is a heartfelt and hilarious celebration of the strength it takes to show up-for ourselves and each other.
Written by Miranda Ferriss Jones and Vanessa Dunleavy

This song reflects the story of a woman I once put on a pedestal-magnetic, beautiful, and powerful. I admired her so much that I tried to emulate her. But as I spent more time with her, I realized I was becoming someone I didn’t want to be: someone whose sole p...

A country protest song about loving America for all the right reasons. GREAT BIG RED, WHITE AND BLUE His brother’s off in Texas Making good money, doing good man’s work Pedro wants join him cross the border He may be young but he ain’t afraid of a little sweat, pain or dirt And they say the journey’s dangerous and tiring and dry But each night you get to sleep under the world’s biggest sky And ...
