Call for Musical Theatre Submissions

Live & In Color is looking for playwrights, composers, and lyricists of color and/or other underrepresented communities interested in developing their new musical. The selected musical submission will have a one-week workshop in the fall at The Bingham Camp in Salem, Connecticut culminating in a staged presentation to an invited audience. Submission requirements can be found below. Submissions will close at 11:59pm EST on 2/15/2023.  For any questions email Dennis Corsi at dennis@liveandincolor.org. 

The writer stipend for this workshop is $1,000; housing, meals, and travel for the retreat are also provided.
