With the support of the California Arts Council, FNAM will be able to provide 1.5* 15-week show writing workshops with the goal of having student teams write 10 minute musicals. Residencies are tailored to school needs, e.g. we’ve done strictly show writing programs and we’ve done linked learning interdisciplinary show writing programs. This funding will expand our reach.
*Revenues from our Data report, only permit us to seek funding for 1.5 residencies; we’ll look elsewhere for the balance.
The Pathway provides the first high school in-school show writing programs. Pathway provides in-school multi-week musical theatre show writing residencies in which student teams write 10-minute musicals — book, lyrics and music — that are performed in a showcase done by industry professionals. ShowSearch is a juried competition and mentoring opportunity for high school and college age writing teams. Musi-Cal provides a bi-monthly showcase opportunity for SoCal writing teams to present works-in-progress to a live audience to better inform their process.
