SMASH It! Musical Development Workshops

 

CreateTheater’s SMASH It! Musical Workshops will be held in front of a live industry audience in NYC, with your actors or local actors and music  directors. The workshop will include a 10 minute integrated scene/song presentation from new musicals currently in development, followed by 20 minutes of  feedback from the NYC Theater Industry panel.

We will have an open session for networking and chatting with everyone after the workshop ends.

In our workshops you will:
  • Present and pitch your song and scene to award-winning producers in a workshop setting and get feedback
  • Network with industry pros in a casual environment, and get them to engage with you and your work
  • Learn about what needs to happen in your libretto, and when
This is an excellent opportunity for networking with industry professionals, testing out new songs and scenes, previewing your work with professionals and finding professional talent to present your work. While it is suggested that the writers be present, we can present your work for you while you participate over Zoom.
Participation fee: $150 (talent stipends not included), $110 for ETC members
Observers: $35 non-members, FREE for ETC members
*Note: presentations are limited to 6 presentations per workshop.
