Theatre Now New York has released 22 new 10-minute musicals for licensing through Music Theatre International.
In-person, streaming, and remote performance options are available for these short musicals designed for small casts with minimal rehearsals.
Among the new musicals in this second volume are 10-minute shows written by members of Theatre Now's Musical Writers Lab, including The Jingle Writer by Nerris Nevarez-Nassiri; Old Man in the Wheelchair by Alice Jankell, Pamela Weiler Grayson, and Aaron Drescher; Peach Melba by Will Lacker and Dylan Glatthorn; Time Travel Makes Complete Sense by Kit Goldstein Grant, Gil Varod, and Jonathon Lynch; and White Man's Burden by Eric C. Jones and Joshua Servel Davis, among others.
Theatre Now Artistic Director Tom Morrissey said in a statement, "These 22 new pieces, when added to our previous 25, span across multiple genres: from family-friendly comedies to thought-provoking dramas, from fairy tales to science fiction, from emotional true stories to whimsical fantasies. You’re sure to discover the perfect show for your audience and performers."
Many of the shows in this second volume, along with the 25 titles in the previously released Volume 1, began as part of Theatre Now’s annual Sound Bites Festival of 10-Minute Musicals, which showcases new works by up-and-coming musical theatre writing teams. Submissions are currently open for Sound Bites 13. More information on the submission process can be found by clicking here.
Founded in 2013, Theatre Now New York is a non-profit dedicated to the development, production, publication, and circulation of short and long-form musicals by providing support for writers and their work in order to nurture voices and forms that push the boundaries of musical theatre.
