Make theatre magic! Join the writing/composing team of a brand new original musical that you help create from the initial concept to staged reading. We are specifically looking for very committed writers, composers, and lyricists or those that are interested in learning more about these disciplines to join the writing team to create an inspiring new musical. This year we plan to have a series of one day workshops in the fall to learn tools of the trade from professionals in the field and then put those tools to work in the winter, culminating in a staged reading of the original script.If you are interested in being on the Writing Team, please fill out this application and turn it in to Suzie Bixler () by or before September 20, 2013.
