A bespoke development program
We believe that writers should WRITE!!
NOT spend countless hours filling out submission forms!
So we have created a simple application
that should be quick to fill out
So you can get back to what you love…WRITING!
WHAT IS THE 121 PROJECT?
Every musical is at different stages of development
Some are at the early stages and need SPACE TO WRITE
Some are looking for DRAMATURGICAL SUPPORT
Some want to explore the PHYSICAL LANGUAGE of the piece
Some need to workshop VOCAL ARRANGEMENTS
And some need a READING
Tell us what you need!!
121 Project provides up to $10,000 of support based upon the specific needs of your project.
