Composer/ Librettist Seeking Lyricist

"My name is Seamus Schwaba. I'm a 16 year old Composer, Librettist, and Director. I run a local community theatre organization in my hometown of Winona MN and I'm currently working on a new musical called The Adventures of Lila and Lucas. A one act show about two high school age musicians who are best friends and have a romantic connection as well. The show is a comedy/coming of age story that ends on a hopeful note with an upbeat outlook on life. I'm looking for someone to write lyrics for my songs and to work with me to make this show amazing and help bring joy to all that see it!! If you live far away I'm happy to work over google meet! If you're interested feel free to reach out over the phone or over email and we can find a time to chat. I'm hoping to find someone who can meet once a week and work on writing this show. I hope you have a wonderful day!"

Librettist/ Lyricist Seeking Composer

"Aloha. When 2 cultures collide, 2 living legends clash - one discovers his destiny, one makes a mortal mistake, as the stage erupts in song, dance and spectacle. Reign of Fire dramatizes the encounter between an aging Captain Cook and a young Kamehameha, and celebrates pre-contact polyamory. It will be a synthesis of iconic Hawaiian music, dance and artistry with Broadway-class musical theatre. Kanaka Maoli heritage highly valued but not required. "

Composer Seeking Playwright

"I am an amateur composer looking for a playwright familiar with musicals. I have a plot outline and 17-song score, including lyrics, for a play inspired by my experience as a teacher in a private school in Los Angeles in the 80s. The characters are based on teachers and students of diverse backgrounds, including middle school and high school aged students from the inner city and some celebrities’ kids. A major theme is diversity, openness, and learning by everyone concerned."

Composer/ Lyricist Seeking Librettist

"Hello! I'm currently looking for a Latina/e queer librettist to rewrite the book to my musical, "Keep Me in Mind": the story of a woman who must reckon with memory, presence, and uncertainty when she unexpectedly becomes a caretaker for her mother with Alzheimer's, all while navigating an adoption process with her wife. To have the impact I want this story to land with, the book must fly off the page as much as the music does, and I do not yet possess the skills to imbue words with that kind of magic. I believe I've crafted a powerful and resonant concept with music that moves heart and soul, and I want to find a curious collaborator to forge ahead with so we can share this story with those who need it most. I invite you to step inside "Keep Me in Mind"--I hope you see enough of yourself in it to one day share your truth in it and call it a home. Attached is a Google Drive with the rough demos of the songs, and the latest draft is on my profile. "

Librettist Seeking Composer/ Arranger

"I need to find a composer/arranger interested in the american cultural heritage of 'the Spirituals'. This work, entitled, "Ain't Got TIme to Die" honors the life, legacy and music of Jester Hairston, (1901-2000). He is considered the modern 'father' of the Spiritual having done more to spread that heritage through his arrangements to a worldwide audience than any other composer. He did this through his work on Broadway, the concert stage, motion pictures and television. This work will need arrangements of his music and a few new compositions. A most remarkable man, I worked with Jester and last eight years of his life, producing,writing and directing his video bio and editing his print (multi-media) auto-biography. See link to YouTube channel of his work."

Playwright Seeking Playwright

"It's hard to get through December without Dickens. But as much as we love A Christmas Carol, wouldn't it be nice if there was another Dickens' play, with all the warmth and joy of A Christmas Carol, to stage over the holidays. Early in his career, Charles Dickens wrote a short piece he called, "The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton." In 1843, he used the Goblins storyline as the basis for A Christmas Carol: Goblins and A Christmas Carol both occur on Christmas Eve, both involve the redemption of a wretched, loveless man (Gabriel Grub, Ebenezer Scrooge), and both involve metaphysical intervention (goblins, ghosts). The Goblins and the Gravedigger is my retelling of Dickens’ Goblin story. It comes with a dab of the old (as the prototype for Carol) and a dash of the new. Like any good make-believe story, it has fairy characters, magic, fun, whimsy, hope, love, and a happy ending. Seeking collaboration with another playwright who loves Dickens and fairy tales, who can help get this show into production. I've been told by an Emmy-winning producer that this show has the potential to be an "evergreen" that will be reproduced every December. If interested, please reply by e-mail. "
