This project will allow a cohort of artists to explore innovative ideas about new music theater, focusing on the process rather than product of the art, so that artists have more contemporary tools for musical theater creation.Participants will complete pre and post evaluation surveys measuring their skill level, collaborative theater making principles, and program feedback.
