STREAMCASTS! Musical Theatre Workshops - online
Instructor: Industry Guests! /Scott Guy /Elise Dewsberry
July 11 through August 16
Course Fee: $100 (Early Bird/ANMT Member Fee: $100)
Auditor: $10
Join us this summer for a very special series of live streamcasts of musical theatre workshops. Submit your musical for live feedback, or audit sessions of new musicals-in-progress…from anywhere in the world!
There’s no software to install or upload — ANMT’s proprietary software takes care of all that from our streamcasting headquarters in North Hollywood. All you need to do is click a link, and, voila! you’re watching live. Or, because of time-zone differences, if your live session airs in the middle of the night, we can arrange for a private password-only taped version to be viewable later.
You give us up to 25 minutes of material & CD of music.
We’ll read it, and comment on music, book & lyrics. Normally this would cost up to $320; but it’s just $100 for these summer streamcasts only. (We’re trying to spread the word about what we do!) For the most promising musical of the summer, we’ll contact some of our musical theatre colleagues, including Richard Sherman (Mary Poppins), Stuart Ross (Forever Plaid), Cheri Steinkellner (Sister Act) and tell them about it! At some of the sessions, we’ll invite some exciting special guests from Celebration Theatre, LA Stage Alliance, Dramatists Guild, etc.
‘I couldn’t be more impressed with the folks at ANMT. The feedback they’ll offer you on your work is astonishingly insightful and detailed. I highly, highly recommend getting their input on your new musical projects.’
–Jeff Marx, Tony award-winning co-creator of Avenue Q
