Philippe's Escape
a French inspired Musical
written by
a French woman
Meet the author,
Laurence "Coco" Markarian
What is the main theme of the musical?
Freedom! ... to live, to dream...
and even more importantly,
to fulfill those dreams!
"Yes, you can take the girl out of France, but you can't take France out of the girl!"
I was born in France, grew up in France, and France is still part of me.
Some call me a Renaissance woman, and I would agree with that! I have done a lot, but simply said, I am a writer at heart, and I love to turn an idea, a story, an anecdote into a screenplay.
