His music composition and orchestration work for film and television includes the musical short film Melody (Cannes selection, 2013) and the pilots Canusa Street (2023) and Everything’s Fine: A Panic Attack in D Major (Emmy Award, Best Comedy Series, 2019). His original music is available to stream, including 2025’s Separate Dreams, composed for the NJ Monuments to Migration and Labor project. As a teaching artist, Dave devises original musicals with K-12 students, currently serving as the coordinator of theater arts at Somerset County Vocational and Technical High Schools. daveseamon.com

Dave’s new musical, A Healthy Marriage is a musical retelling of the Hall-Mills murder case of 1922 told from the perspective of the ones who were left behind: the church choir. It’s a musical dark comedy about love, lust, jealousy, and brutal murder. Come see it May 27-June 7 at coLAB Arts! ahealthymarriage.com

We are thrilled to announce that registration is officially open for our Summer 2026 intensives!

Whether you are an artist, aspiring filmmaker, jazz instrumentalist, concert band musician, or a dancer, we have a world-class experience waiting for you at the Rutgers Summer Arts Institute.

The Summer Arts Institute is a transformative opportunity for students to build their portfolios, gain confidence, and find "their people."

Here’s what’s happening this summer: at Downtown-Civic Square we have day sessions in Painting, Drawing, Photo, Graphic/App Design, and our popular Filmmaking & Screenwriting Intensives. On Douglass Campus we are offering the Jazz and Concert Band Institutes and our Dance Conservatory for commuters and residential students. The residential option is an exciting way to experience college life beyond the studio.
