Musical Theater Writing Boot Camp
About NOMTI
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 2009-2010, NOMTI is offering the following programs and services for musical theater writers:
(1) Musical Theater Writing Boot Camp is an intensive two-day 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. Boot Camp will next be held Saturday and Sunday, March 27 and 28, 2010. More details here.
(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. The application period for the 2009-2010 Lab is now closed.
(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.
(4) Staged Readings: NOMTI occasionally sponsors public staged readings of new work. On February 27th, 2010, as part of The Gecko in Winter reading series, NOMTI will present excerpts of Steve Gilbane's Crazy Love and Stephen Murray's Making Scents at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. More details are available here.
The evening workshop that met for several years was discontinued after May 2007.
