PACE UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES OPEN SUBMISSIONS FOR “PACE NEW
MUSICALS”
The
Musical Theater Program at Pace University is currently accepting submissions
of new musical theater works for a series of performances at Pace University in
January 2013. Last year’s musical was A
LASTING IMPRESSION written by Zoe Sarnak. >> View the Broadway World article
The chosen
piece will be given a full reading in the Schaeberle Theater at Pace University
in lower Manhattan, with actors chosen from the musical theater student body.
There will be a two week rehearsal period starting Tuesday, January 8, 2013
with 8 performances starting January 22 and ending January 27, 2013.
Because of the short rehearsal time, we are looking for completed scores and scripts. Pace New Musicals will provide the space, the performers, a stage manager, a light board and light operator, and a director and music director. If there is already a director and/or music director attached to the project and wants to continue that association, then it is up to the creators whether or not to use them for this reading.
Our objective is to nurture the creation of new musical theater in New York City and to provide an invaluable educational opportunity to our students to work directly with top professionals in the field.
The Musical Theater Program at Pace University started in 2002 with six majors and has grown to a fully accredited BFA program in Music Theater with one hundred majors. Under the guidance of its founder, Amy Rogers and music director, Robert Meffe, the program is preparing the next generation of Broadway performers.
