John Albert Harris is a producer of musicals and artist manager to composers.

He is the executive producer of the unscripted podcast [insert movie here]: The Musical! with hosts Kyle Wilson and Sam French and music supervisor Andy Einhorn (in which we lovingly take movies that should never be on the stage and dream of the musical adaptation). Producing credits include the Off-Broadway hit Puffs, or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic (New World Stages); the audio story Vapor Trail (2022 Tribeca Festival; Playwrights Horizons’ Soundstage podcast), written by Ken Urban, directed by Knud Adams, starring Maulik Pancholy and April Matthis; the solo piano album Music for Ballet Class by Nevada Lozano and Erica Johnston; Mei-Do by Emily Gardner Xu Hall (Ars Nova ANT Fest 2018); Going South: a new musical by Katya Stanislavskaya (workshop at Dixon Place); North Pond: a chamber musical by Ben Morris (staged readings at MATCH Houston); Trial (Directed by Lori Petty; American Theatre of Actors); Ramona: An American Epic, a musical by Nevada Lozano (concerts w/New York Theatre Barn); and 7Songwriters, a cross-genre song series in various venues across NYC.

John currently works in the Theatrical Literary department at A3 Arists Agency. Previously, he worked at Maximum Entertainment Productions as assistant to producer Eva Price. Productions with MEP included Oklahoma! (St. Ann’s Warehouse, Broadway), Jagged Little Pill (A.R.T., Broadway), Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical (National Tour), and The Hip Hop Nutcracker (Annual National Tour). John has also worked in various capacities with the classical music nonprofits Argento New Music Project and The Nouveau Classical Project.

He is also a creator of cinematic graphic novels, live shows in which a film of a comic is projected onto multiple screens, panels appearing one by one, with voice actors and sound effects, narrator, and accompanied by an original score played by an orchestra. Everything We Miss, a 30-minute dual-screen show is adapted from the novella by Luke Pearson (creator of the brilliant “Hilda” on Netflix). John’s first show, Blankets, is adapted from the award-winning novel by Craig Thompson, and was commissioned by Butler University's Summer Institute and Undergraduate Research Conference.

John holds a Masters degree in Music Composition from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, where he was a T.A. instructor in the aural skills & improvisation program. He completed his undergraduate degree in Music Composition at Butler University. John studied composition with Dorothy Hindman, Michael Schelle, and Frank Felice, including lessons and guidance from Martin Bresnick, Stephen Hartke, and Tania León. His music is available to stream on Soundcloud.
