In this time of regrouping, when there are more questions than answers about what lies ahead, or when and how we can mount live productions in theaters, we are nonetheless committed to partnerships, conversations, and explorations that will bring us together, and to search out the words to tell the stories we need to hear and create music that breaks open hearts.
We invite our composers, librettists and lyricists, performers, directors, choreographers, designers, and filmmakers to collaborate on new projects and discover new ways of sharing works, productions and programs in development.
