Theatre Lovers: This summer?s for you!

By Gordon Firemark

As you may know, In addition to my entertainment law practice, I volunteer as the President of the Board of the Academy for New Musical Theatre.  The academy is an incubator for new musicals, helping writers, composers, lyricists and producers come together to create new works.

This summer, ANMT has undertaken  an ambitious  schedule of programming.  If you’re a theatre lover, or a creator of theatrical material, this means that great opportunities abound.

• 38 Days of New Musicals at the NoHo Arts Center this summer features 38 days of productions, workshops, concerts, and conferences all celebrating new musicals! July 16 through August 22.     The summer starts off with:
  • “40 is the New 15″ – our full scale production of the hit show we presented as a workshop last Summer., Opening July 16th, at 8:00 pm., and
  • “Aging Out” – a brand new musical workshop production Opens Wed. July 21
• Musical Theatre Summer Bootcamp Crash courses for writers, actors, and producers.  Runs July 11 through Aug. 22.
• Biz of the Musical Theatre Biz Conference features producers, directors, artistic directors, writers, agents, union reps, marketers, all talking about getting musicals produced.  Runs July 23-25

I hope you’ll attend some (or get a Golden Ticket to  all) of these programs, and, please let me know what you think!
