Who is Bad Wolf Press?
Bad Wolf is a tiny publishing company that hopes someday to grow to become a small company. It was started in 1995 by lyricist John Heath and composer Ron Fink, who have been writing songs together since they were high school students. Fink & Heath wrote their first kids’ musical (Jack and the Beanstalk) in 1992 for a first grade teacher in Camarillo, CA. Response was extremely positive and the writers did another show the next year. Kids had a great time, parents got excited, and teachers began to talk. Fink & Heath started contacting publishers, all of which turned them down. Eventually they forged ahead and started publishing on their own. Thirteen years later, with some 90,000 productions worldwide, their main focus continues to be listening carefully to teachers so that they produce shows that fulfill a clear need in the classroom.
