3 Ghosts is an original steampunk musical re-telling of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Come with Scrooge on a macabre journey through the expanses of time and experience the Dickens' holiday classic as if for the first time.

"I have endeavored in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humor with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it." -Charles Dickens

By the time Collin was 20, he worked in a professional theater in California arranging, performing, and composing original musicals. After moving to New York in 2005 he and Liz Muller began working on various theater projects together. Eventually they began writing one-act musicals; The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,"and The Masque of the Red Death, and full length original musicals; 3 Ghosts, Macbeth, and Briar Rose, all of which Collin wrote the music and co-wrote the book for. Collin also continues to write underscoring for PiPE DREAM shows as well as arranging songs for their Shakespeare productions such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth Night.
