Determined to find the answers to unresolved mysteries surrounding his father's death, Dr. Edward Winston is granted access to an asylum where his late great father was committed and eventually died. With a team of scientists and their spouses and a strange inn keeping couple, Dr. Winston starts experiencing paranormal activity within the asylum. Set in London, 1892, Out of the Darkness features a symphonic pop score. Mott originally penned the book, music and lyrics for the initial draft of the show, which spawned a concept album during the summer of 2004. The album featured a fourteen piece orchestra and ten studio singers. In the fall of 2004 the show received a small reading at Ithaca College. After the reading, Jeremy Jordan was brought in to re-write the book. The show is currently being rewritten.
