The seven musicals for which he wrote the songs and/or script have had full productions at the Berkeley, Milwaukee and Tennessee Repertory Theatres; the Goodspeed Opera House’s Norma Terris Theatre; Piccolo Spoleto Fringe in Charleston, SC; Perseverance Theatre in Juneau, AK; Central Square Theatre in Cambridge, MA; the Warehouse Performing Arts Center in Cornelius, NC; the Subversive Theatre Collective in Buffalo, NY; and Main Stage West in Sebastopol, CA.

Known for their work on the public radio program Art of the Song heard on 120 stations across the country including WLNZ in Lansing, Nesbitt and Dillon skillfully set the pace for Si Kahn’s musical featuring original book and thirteen of Kahn’s songs. John’s musical skills are highlighted on his handmade guitars and harmony vocals. Nesbitt is an accomplished actress and has been seen on Breaking Bad, The Night Shift, Manhattan, Longmire, Law & Order: SVU, and is fresh off a production of King Lear and her own solo show The Bark & The Tree that was a Best of the Fest Encore at United Solo Off Broadway in NYC."
