Blazing New World Artwork

Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alums Brandy Hoang Collier & Sean Eads (both Cycle 29) will have their new musical BLAZING NEW WORLD streamed at the University of the Arts.

The Polyphone Festival of New and Emerging Musicals is a nationally recognized festival of the emerging musical at University of the Arts in Philadelphia. For the last six years, UArts brought professional composers, librettists, directors, choreographers and music directors from the field to the Ira Brind School of Theater Arts at UArts to work with student casts and creative teams on musicals in progress.

The Blazing World is a futuristic adaptation of Margaret Cavendish’s groundbreaking 1666 sci-fi novel. The musical follows computer engineer Margaret Hoang and her personal passion project: an A.I. program named Pyra. As Margaret struggles to make space for herself in the real world, Pyra grows more curious about worlds outside the computer.
