ABOUT THE CLASS
In this introductory 6-session module, students will learn about the form and function of a musical's book. They will put their learning to the test by conceiving, outlining, and beginning to write the book of an original musical inspired by a collection of existing songs of their choosing. Students will also offer constructive feedback to one another as they share work-in-progress, creating a supportive and responsive environment in which to develop new skills and take risks.
