Lana Palmer is a composer, lyricist, and sound designer creating emotionally charged, sonically daring work at the intersection of story and sound. Her new musical The Dream Museum is a dark, dreamlike odyssey that fuses theatrical invention with a lush, modern score—part art song, part avant-pop, part haunting lullaby. Based in San Francisco, Palmer’s work has been featured on major stages across North America and in more than 100 television series worldwide. With a background in directing, formal training in film, sound, and screenwriting, and an artistic practice rooted in the Michael Chekhov technique, she brings a cinematic eye and a visceral storytelling instinct to every collaboration.
