Our Mission

The American Music Theatre Project (AMTP) is a new initiative at Northwestern University dedicated to nourishing the vitality of American music theatre through:

• The development and production of new musicals by music theatre’s leading artists.

• Increasing opportunities for education and training with Northwestern’s theatre, dance and opera programs.

• Initiating a broad range of interdisciplinary research projects.

AMTP’s ultimate goal is the establishment of a permanent Center for the American Music Theatre on Northwestern’s Evanston campus. The center would expand upon the work of AMTP, as well as introduce new programs, including an annual summer festival of new musicals.
