Writing A New Musical - A 10-Week Workshop
Join Jye Bryant for an immersive journey into the world of musical theatre creation.
Over the course of ten weeks, a team of 4-10 passionate musical theatre enthusiasts will embark on a collaborative adventure guided by the expertise of Jye Bryant himself. Drawing upon his acclaimed 2018 book, "Writing & Staging A New Musical – A Handbook," participants will also receive a comprehensive Course Workbook to aid in their creative process.
Under Jye Bryant's mentorship, participants will craft a one-act, 60-minute musical theatre masterpiece from scratch. Each session is designed to inspire, educate, and refine the artistic vision, culminating in a workshop presentation (seated reading) of the brand-new, never-before-seen musical theatre work. This intimate gathering will include chosen thespians and trusted allies, offering invaluable feedback and direction to further elevate the production.
