Making New Musicals
The American Music Theatre Project (AMTP) at Northwestern University was created in 2005 to support the development of new musicals, providing artists and their work-in-progress with the resources and dramaturgical support to meet key creative goals along an individualized development journey. By inviting artists and their work to Northwestern’s campus, AMTP enables Northwestern students to engage with new work in rewarding and illuminating ways through performance opportunities, assistantships, and observation. AMTP strives to foster a welcoming environment for artists of all backgrounds to create vibrant new songs and stories that bring original and valuable perspectives to the musical theatre.
Chicago Musical Theatre Writers Workshop
The American Music Theatre Project (AMTP) at Northwestern University is excited to announce the creation of a new, weekly writers’ lab for Chicago-based musical theatre composers, lyricists, and bookwriters. The Chicago Musical Theatre Writers Workshop will launch in Fall 2025 for a 10-week session, providing selected participants with a forum and feedback to develop their existing work and build essential skills in the craft of writing/composing for the musical stage.
