Musical Theater Workshops
Musical Theater at Writopia is a writing-focused (rather than performance-focused) program. Over the course of the workshop, students write an original show. Pieces are produced as part of festivals throughout the city, including Writopia's 2012 Best Playwrights' Festival. Writers have the option to perform in productions.
