ANMT is now accepting applications for the 2011-12 season on their famed Writers’ Workshop.
Check it out at our FREE Workshop Demo on Saturday, August 13th from 6:30 to 9:30pm at The Academy for New Musical Theatre, 5628 Vineland Avenue, North Hollywood.
This collaborative incubator teams different writers every month for specific writing opportunities and feedback sessions. Sessions meet one weekend per month from September through April - followed by the intensive 15 Minute Musical process in which writers create a new 15 minute musical in under a month, and ANMT produces the results.
Can’t make the Workshop Demo? Audit the first sessions in September:
Saturday, September 17th from 10am to 2pm

Sunday, September 18th from 2pm to 6pm
Full details, schedule, fees, and testimonials available online.
