feature film, Cannibal! The Musical, while attending the University of Colorado in Boulder. A
few years later, Trey co-created the hit animated series “South Park” with Matt Stone, his college

same year “South Park” debuted, Parker wrote, directed and starred in the film Orgazmo. Two
years later, Parker and Stone released the critically acclaimed feature film South Park: Bigger,
Longer & Uncut. The musical, which Parker directed and co-wrote, earned an Oscar nomination
for Best Song and the first ever New York Film Critics Circle Award for an animated film. In
2004, the pair returned to theaters with Team America: World Police, an action movie co-written
and directed by Parker that starred a cast of marionettes. It has been a long-time dream of

original musical Up Here, the score for Disney’s Winnie the Pooh and Finding Nemo: The
Musical (playing at Walt Disney World since 2006). Lopez shared two Emmy Award wins for
his music for Nickelodeon’s “The Wonder Pets” and an Emmy nomination for the musical
episode of “Scrubs” and the song “Moving Pictures” which opened the 87th Academy Awards.
His work has also been featured on TV shows, including “South Park,” “The Simpsons” and
