[2] Oliver is an adjunct professor at Pace University in New York, and Artistic Director of the Pasadena Musical Theatre Program in California.

Mrs. Sharp, with music and lyrics by Oliver and book by Kirsten Guenther, is loosely based on the 1991 teacher-student sex scandal and murder trial surrounding Pamela Smart.

The musical was first performed at NYU in 2007 under the direction of Ryan Mekenian with Alex Brightman, Scott Evans, and Ali Stroker in the cast and under the title “Alive at Ten” (a play on the lead character’s aspirations of being a news anchor “live at 10”).

Having written an unsuccessful self-help series entitled Invent Yourself: Five Words to Live By, 31-year-old Kimberly Sharp is encouraged by her husband to take a job teaching at the local high school.

Someone goes to jail, someone becomes a beloved self-help guru and someone gets shot in the head — but everyone learns a lesson from Mrs. Sharp.Darling, conceived by Brett Ryback and with the book, music and lyrics by Oliver, is a dark retelling of J.M.
