DON’T BACK DOWN
six short musicals about standing your ground
The 15-Minute Musicals are a 30-year-old tradition at NMI. They’re the final project of our Core Curriculum; presented live in a theatre in Los Angeles. They’re the hottest ticket in town, and they sold out again this year (as usual). But, if you missed them at the Broadwater Theatre in July of 2022, you can still see them HERE!
We will be releasing the videos one at a time over the next two months - so please come back often to see what’s up next!
Tickets to the live presentations of these musicals cost $25. Thanks to a generous grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, Arts Development Fee Program, we are able to provide access to recordings of these musicals to you FOR FREE. Please thank the DCA if you get the chance: 201 N Figueroa St #1400, Los Angeles, CA 90012
