This untitled new performance work dramatizes the institutional developmental workshop of new musicals in this country. We dive back into the yesteryears of these incubative spaces in order to re-conceive its future and how we as artists and a field at large can be more humane, ethical and community driven to better reflect all of our voices and experiences in the material.
This work is made in collaboration with
Performers: Kennebrew Taylor, William Robert Bellamy, Timiki Salinas, Ry Szelong, Amara Pedroso Saquel, Jade Ziane, Milo Longnecker, Nyesha McCormick, Nick Sanza, Alton Alburo.
Playwright: ruth tang
