This is a program in New York for musicals in early stages of writing and development. Our primary goals are to introduce emerging artists in the New York musical theatre scene who are all passionate about musical theatre, and to help develop new musicals at their early stages by seeing the material off of the page and with fresh eyes.
What will a typical Playspace look like?
90-minute session to workshop 1 scene/song with a director, a music director, and up to 4 performers.
the workshop session will be centered around questions posed by the writing team.
at the end of the session, we will do a run-through of the material and record it for the writers’ archival use.
As we are getting started, we are looking for new musicals and emerging directors, music directors, and performers in the NY area! If you are interested, please click the corresponding forms below and we’ll be in contact soon!
