Hello, and welcome! My name is Matt Klein. I’m an intern at the Academy for Musical Theatre, the amazing organization whose blog you are currently reading.
“So what exactly is this blog about?” you may ask. In short, it’s about musical theatre. In slightly lengthier, it’s about the development of new musical theatre, as seen through the eyes of an academy devoted to it. We’ll regale you with stories, astound you with observations, and occasionally annoy you with self-promotion. It should be a blast.
On a more serious note, I’m very excited about this blog. The Academy is a wonderful resource for aspiring writers, and as an aspiring writer, the chance to capture some of their tidbits forever online is something I look forward to.
So again, welcome, and enjoy.
-Matt
