Bisen-Hersh will premiere a new show called "Mostly Seth" which will feature some older material, some newer material, and some songs by others that have influenced him throughout the years including ones by Stephen Sondheim and Tom Lehrer. Bisen-Hersh will also talk about how he approaches writing a song, taking a "Love Quirks" song through its various incarnations, which will be the focus of his new book: "The Making of a Musical: the 12 year journey of Love Quirks". Additionally, Bisen-Hersh will tell some professional and personal anecdotes in what promises to be a special, intimate evening with a prolific composer in his prime.

He wrote/starred in the 5 seasons of the web series "Every Day a Little Seth," co-wrote/co-starred in the TV pilot version and has emceed, produced and accompanied over 700 musical theatre talent showcases at renowned cabaret venue Don't Tell Mama. In addition, he has published 3 books: a memoir, "Sleep. Write. Now.
