About Us

 

Musical Mondays Theater Lab develops new works for the musical theater through a multi-step reading program. Works vary in style from traditional to avant garde and are selected from professional recommendations as well as formal and informal associations with organizations like the National Alliance of Musical Theaters and The BMI-Lehman Engel Musical Theater Workshop.


Artistic Director: Bick Goss
Works are initially given a table reading for a select group of musical theater professionals who then work with the writers prior to the next stage of presentation. Subsequent public staged readings are presented in accord with the Actors Equity Reading Code using professional New York actors, directors and musical directors. These staged readings can be either an abridged version of a work, a first act of a work or a complete musical. In the MMTL developmental process, works can progress from shorter presentations to complete readings

To date, nine of the works developed by this process have gone on to other venues (off-Broadway and regional theater) and three of the writers (or writing teams) have been commissioned to write new works for both not-for-profit and the commercial theater
