About the Course

This musical theatre writing course has been prepared for students who want to write a musical and don’t know where to begin. This course has also been prepared for students who’ve written dramatic works previously but have never written a musical adaptation. If you are a scriptwriter, composer, lyricist or songwriter who is interested in learning what it’s like to be part of writing a new musical for the stage or a movie, then this course is for you.

Topics Taught Include

  • Story Development

    Because sometimes we choose stories to adapt that don’t have all the pieces/moments there

  • Scene Development

    To help keep your audience interested from the opening scene to final curtain/end credits

  • Character Development

    The how the character thinks, feels and behaves sort of work that’s VERY necessary in creating a great show

  • Score Development

    Because the music and lyrics in a show are more than just the music and lyrics in a show
