Brian John Shucker (May 29, 1958 - April 12, 1991) with his partner William
"Bill" Sawyer (March 28, 1953 - August 12, 1991) were the authors of the
musical Babes, a 1940s-style musical that opened in Los Angeles just
before their deaths due to AIDS complications.
Sawyer was from Camas, Washington.[1]
In 1980 Shucker worked at Curtain Call Theater in Tustin, California where he met Sawyer, who became his collaborator and companion. Sawyer wrote the book for Babes.[2][1]
In winter 1990 the first run of Babes opened at the Cast Theater, and it ran for 15 weeks.[3]
Sawyer who was completing their second full musical together and at Shucker's death said "I have several more years left",[3] died on August 12, 1991, exactly four months after Shucker.[2]
Shucker and Sawyer are listed side by side on the AIDS quilt project.[6]
