For the Record(s) is not only a riveting theatre experience, but an education on what real-life adoptees and all involved on a familial and legal level genuinely go through...It provided a terrific preview of what will no doubt be a memorable theatrical experience once fully realized, and a deeply moving experience for anyone who has searched for a sense of both self and genuine connection.
Bill Eisenring
As a headlining world-premiere reading at the 2026 Next Step Theatre Festival, For The Record(s) is more than just a production; it is a rhythmic megaphone for a global human rights movement (5/13/26)
For the Record(s) is something very rare – a musical almost ready for production (even a major production) only four years after its first time musical writer put pen to paper. Uhrlaub has given us a work that already borders on extraordinary, although it requires some tweaks to get it to the wonderful commercial vehicle it should be. (6/22/26)

Wow! Wow! Wow!
'A Certain Date' evoked emotional memories of the moment I made that call."

"The nod to Beethoven in 'Baby Fever' is terrific. And 'Real Mother' conveys the poignant need of both mothers who live in this tension."

"Amazing! Tears during 'Real Mother' and 'A Certain Date!' Please let me know how I can support this effort. See you on Broadway!"

"We'll take this as our anthem! 'Testify' took me back to my grandma's church as a child. You can't help but raise your hands and shout 'unify, testify!'"

Thank you!"
