Book Writer/Librettist for New Original Bio Musical - Gladys Bentley Musical LLC

LISTING INFORMATION

Seeking an experienced musical theater book writer/librettist and/or dramaturg to collaborate, create, and partner on a new bio musical about the life of famous gender-bending cabaret icon from the 1920's, Gladys Bentley. This will be an original musical with original songs, not a "jukebox musical" using pre-existing material.



Preference and consideration will be given to ANY and ALL experienced musical theater book writers/librettists/dramaturgs. The composer would truly love to work with a BIPOC artist, especially a black/female/queer artist who would love to elevate this important story. Anyone who has knowledge of, and a passion for Gladys' story should apply.



Please send a resume/CV and examples of writing work, along with a short mission statement as to why you might want to collaborate on this project.



At this time, this project is very early in its birth. There are strong possibilities for staged readings, workshops, and possible further theatrical development in the next several years as the show develops. Finding the right collaborator is paramount, and honoring this story is incredibly important to the composer.



This project is open-ended with no firm start or finish date.
