Third Year 🤝 New Writing Project
Our third year degree students have just completed their first week back with us, and what a week it’s been!
As part of their third year, we’ve introduced a new writing project, and this year our students are workshopping The Debutantes, a brand new musical written by Sam Norman & Eliza Randall. What’s even more special is this is the first time the full draft of the musical has been workshopped in the UK.
Over five weeks, our third years get the chance to properly get stuck into a new piece of musical theatre writing, exploring the characters, music, lyrics and story, whilst working alongside an industry creative team of Becca Chadder, Bella Barlow & Dan Smith to develop the show as it takes shape. The writers will also be paying us a visit in a few weeks!
It’s a unique opportunity to experience what the development of a new musical actually looks like from the inside. Not just learning a show that already exists, but helping to shape one that’s in its early stages.
And after just one week, there’s already a lot happening. We can’t wait to see where they take it.
