Program Alum Joel Waggoner’s Advent Carolndar

Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alum Joel Waggoner (Cycle 19) and collaborator Julia Mattison created an Advent Calendar of 25 songs starting the first of December. Each one minute carol deals with some unexpected aspect of the holidays. In its second year, the advent calendar started as a holiday party gag and now has a huge following on Instagram. You can hear the entire 25 songs HERE.
