This event is a fundraising concert for the Latiné Musical Theatre Lab. This money goes directly to funding the free programs and services we provide to support new Latiné-written works of musical theatre, in order to radically change who gets to tell musical stories on stages across the country.
Story
Our work starts with our flagship programs: our 4xLatiné presentations (excerpts of new musicals for a live audience), our Table Reading Series (developing scripts with the support of actors and dramaturgs), and our Julia de Burgos Cohort (small group, three month writing intensives.)
In addition, we provide free educational workshops and seminars that bring knowledge and resources into our community; assist and advise on individual musicals to elevate and support the work; and build connections and partnerships with theatres and producers around the country in order to break down barriers erected by gatekeepers - and ultimately get writers’ work produced.
