THE CREW
Led by two multi-hyphenate troublemakers who love big ideas: a director/music director/producer and a composer/sound/visual designer, ABOVE THE MAP is also backed by a roster of trusted collaborators—so whether you need a full build or a precision upgrade, we can scale fast.
THE WORLDBUILDERS
LIZ MULLER
Liz Muller is the founder and director of Above the Map—director, music director, producer, and production designer with a reputation for imaginative, cinematic staging. She’s created epic productions across colleges, community theatres, and off-Broadway spaces, and has spent nearly a decade shaping entertainment for cruise lines and theme parks.
Her specialties live where performance and polish collide: vocal arrangements that shine, musical direction that keeps momentum tight, and storytelling choices that keep audiences engaged moment-to-moment. She’s also a performer and voice artist—praised for a powerhouse voice—so she understands the work from the inside out.
C. E. SIMON
C. E. Simon began composing and arranging for theatre and film in California, then expanded into original musicals and immersive entertainment after moving to New York. He composes, arranges, edits, and sound-designs—building everything from original songs and underscoring to punchy effects and full atmospheric worlds.
On the visual side, Simon creates motion graphics for screens and projection, plus show branding like logos and key art. The result is a rare hybrid skillset: story-forward sound + visual design that supports the show’s pacing, tone, and “wow.”
SPECIALISTS
Need more hands? We’ve got them. ABOVE THE MAP works with a trusted roster of artists and technicians for lighting, sound, choreography, costume, makeup, arrangements, orchestration, sheet music prep, and more—so your project gets exactly the team it needs (and nothing it doesn’t).
