The New Opera and Musical Theater Initiative (NOMTI) is a group of musical theater writers who support each other in creating high-quality new works for musical theater.
In 2007-2008, NOMTI is offering the following programs and services for musical theater writers:
(1) Open Seminar in Writing Musical Theater is an intensive day-long instructional seminar covering the most critical elements of writing for musical theater. This is open to writers at all levels and is recommended for writers planning to apply to the Advanced Writers Lab.
(2) Advanced Writers Lab is a peer feedback group open to a limited number of experienced bookwriters, composers and lyricists working actively on a project.
(3) NOMTI-Greenroom is NOMTI's yahoo group, providing online community and educational resources. It is open to New England musical theater writers of all levels. Please email dreiffel "at" nomti.org if you would like to participate, as it is by invitation only. Members share opportunities, information and insights related to writing for musical theater. We also post NOMTI-developed resources in the files section.
The biweekly evening workshop will not be held in 2007-08.
"Something's Coming," NOMTI's series of staged readings of new work by NOMTI writers, will be open only to members of the Advanced Writers Lab. No readings are currently scheduled for 2007-2008.
