About the Open Call

Live & In Color is looking for playwrights, composers, and lyricists of color and/or other underrepresented communities interested in developing their new musical. The selected musical submission will have a one-week workshop in the fall at The Bingham Camp in Salem, Connecticut culminating in a staged presentation to an invited audience. Live & In Color staff will continue to support the development of your piece beyond the retreat including a reading for industry and Broadway Alums.

What is Offered

Selected writers receive a $1,000 stipend plus housing, meals, and travel. Development support is provided for several months leading up to the retreat, followed by an industry reading.

Requirements

The musical must be performable with 4 actors or less. Applicants must be playwrights, composers, or lyricists of color and/or from other underrepresented communities. Works with prior full productions are not accepted.
