And Then They Sing: Musical Theatre Bookwriting. Instructor – Nick Green

There’s a lot more to musicals than jazz hands. Beneath the belting is a finely-tuned machine in which every beat, lyric, and transition must earn it’s place. This workshop explores the craft of writing the book for a musical: how to structure a story that demands music, how to collaborate with composers and lyricists, and how to build scenes that explode into song. Through discussions and practical exercises on musical theatre structure, song spotting, and world building, participants will learn how to shape compelling, singable narratives from the ground up.

This workshop is sponsored by Theatre Alberta as part of Workshops by Request: Hometown Series.
