The graduating students from Cycle 33 of The Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program presented original songs from their second-year thesis musicals in a final showcase at Joe's Pub at The Public Theatre on May 20th, 2024.
Each second-year student writing team underwent a 2-day actor lab process with professional actors, directors, and musical directors to explore and examine segments from their thesis musicals which they have been writing throughout their second year of the program. Following their lab, each team then presented 90 minutes of their full-length thesis musical as a table reading. The final thesis presentation process culminated in a starry showcase of original songs pulled from each thesis musical. The showcase was presented on Monday, May 20th, 2024 at the prestigious Joe's Pub venue at The Public Theater in NYC's East Village.
