Lowdermilk’s most recent musicals have been collaborations with Kait Kerrigan.

Lowdermilk and Kerrigan wrote TheaterworksUSA's adaptation of Henry and Mudge, which premiered Off-Broadway in 2006 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. In one review of that piece, Lowdermilk and Kerrigan were called "perhaps the most important young writers in musical theatre today."
Lowdermilk has received a Richard Rodgers Staged Reading Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, an Alan Menken scholarship award from NYU Steinhardt, and a Jonathan Larson Memorial Fellowship at the Dramatists Guild.
A fully staged production of The Woman Upstairs is in talks to be presented at the University of the Arts, in Philadelphia, PA, eventually.
in 2011, Kerrigan-Lowdermilk released their first CD "OUR FIRST MISTAKE". The CD was a result of fan support through a campaign on Kickstarter. To celebrate both the CD and their fans, Kerrigan-Lowdermilk have also launched a New York City concert tour.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
