About this Event
Since 2014, the Library for the Performing Arts’ summer musical theater writing program has brought together lyricists, composers, bookwriters, and performers to form new collaborations and write 20-minute musicals with advice from experts in the industry. At the end of each program, the artists present their new musical theater works to the public. Join us for this special first performance of these works!
