| Summary: | <p> <i>The Terrorist and the Whore</i> is a two-person musical theater composition written as an unfinished yet retrospective performance document of the relationship of Kahlil Sabbagh and Ginger Smith from 2002 to 2015. The purpose of this project is to submit six songs from the musical that challenge two stereotypes, gender stereotyping and ethnic typecasting, while lending insight into the process of creating and telling a story and composing music. The six musical pieces, "Each Other," "Three Little Minutes," "That Crazy Moon," "It's Like," "Side Job," "I Don't like You," are presented through a score and electronically produced soundtrack and are analyzed in both a theoretical sense as well as for background informational purposes. It is through the lens of the characters that they discover, through music, the deep internal dynamics of a relationship.</p>
