EDGES was created by the emergent musical duo, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who were recently listed as part of the "50 To Watch" upcoming playwrights and composers by The Dramatist magazine.
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul began their collaboration as freshmen at The University of Michigan and completed their BFA degrees in musical theatre in December 2006. In 2007, at age 21, they were awarded the Jonathan Larson Award and became the youngest recipients in the history of the foundation to earn the distinction.
Pasek and Paul are writers for John Tartaglia’s Disney Channel television series, Johnny And The Sprites and contributed music to Off-Broadway’s White Noise (A Cautionary Tale) which won Talkin’ Broadway’s 2006 Summer Theatre Festival Citation for Outstanding Original Score.
They were invited to participate in the first ever Johnny Mercer Songwriting Festival funded by the American Musical Theatre Project and were commissioned to write Horace and Morris But Mostly Dolores for Theatreworks USA.
