In this episode, we continue our conversation with Kathleen Wrinn, the founding Artistic Director of the New Works/New Voices initiative at Syracuse University that develops new musicals.

We explore in greater detail how the program has developed Lighthouse, a musical with book, lyrics & story by abs wilson, and music and story by Veronica Mansour.

We also discuss Kathleen’s forthcoming book, Developing New Musicals in University Theatre Programs: A Practical Guide, co-authored with Alisa Hauser.

This episode features demo recordings of the songs “Runaway Girl” and “Bus Stop” performed by Veronica Mansour.
