Composer-in-Residence with Center Stage Theater of Baltimore

Among his musicals, Keystone was inspired by silent film and provided an inspiration for Jerry Herman's contemporaneous and more successful Mack & Mabel.

His musical Shakespeare's Cabaret, one of three works based on the Bard, was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical in 1981.
