121 Project logo

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.
