Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alums were well-represented amongst those selected for the 2024 Rhinebeck Writers Retreat. The mission of Rhinebeck Writers Retreat is to provide a sanctuary for musical theatre writers to develop their musicals in the heart of the Hudson Valley, and to promote awareness for the creation of this uniquely American art form.
Projects selected for this year's Rhinebeck Writers Retreat include YOKO'S HUSBAND'S KILLER'S JAPANESE WIFE, GLORIA by Brandi Hoang Collier (Cycle 29), Clare Fuyuko Bierman and Erika Ji (Both Cycle 30); OFF SEASON, cowritten by Derek Gregor (Cycle 12); Lighthouse by Veronica Mansour and abs wilson (Both Cycle 32); and BLACK GIRL IN PARIS by Jacinth Greywoode and AriDy Nox (Both Cycle 27).
Rhinebeck Writers Retreat serves a crucial role for writers, in the long developmental process for their musicals. Each writing team is given a weeklong residency in a private home just outside of Rhinebeck, where they live together for one week and do nothing but write their new musical.
