Full Description
How can new Broadway musicals be developed within an educational setting?
How do I go about finding a new, unpublished musical to perform with students?
How do I balance the needs of professional authors and pre-professional students?
Developing New Musicals in University Theatre Programs: A Practical Guide is a comprehensive manual that equips musical theatre educators and their students with the tools, strategies, and insights needed to successfully develop new musical works within their theatre departments. A first-of-its-kind resource for college theatre educators and their students, it is co-written by two university professors who each lead new musicals initiatives at their institutions and who are themselves musical theatre writers and performers. Through explanation and practical analysis this book provides a detailed roadmap through every phase of the developmental process, from script selection to opening night, examining every step (and misstep) along the way.
This essential compilation of rehearsal guidelines, model templates, and first-hand interviews with faculty, administrators, professional writing teams, and even the students themselves serves as a companion for any educator seeking to embark on new musical development for the first time, as well as those who are already engaging in this exciting, experimental work and are looking to refine their own creative and collaborative practices.
