Spotlight Series: A Closer Look
MusiCoLab, a new nonprofit that supports musical theater creators in our area, has presented over a hundred songs by Philly writers over the past five years in our Showcase Series. Our new Spotlight Series invites you to take “A Closer Look” at 30-minute selections from three new musicals by hometown composers and writers! “Far From The Tree” is based on Andrew Solomon’s award-winning book about non-traditional families; “Finding Madame Curie” is the story of a woman scientist who dares to pursue her dream in a man’s world; and “Red & Black” explores the ever-increasing struggles of young people in present-day America.“A Closer Look” is part of “Curtain Up Philly: A Celebration of New Musicals,” presented by MusiCoLab and three other Philadelphia musical theater companies this spring.
