Beth Malone will perform a song from her new musical STARSTRUCK, which was developed at Rhinebeck Writers Retreat and is co-written with Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls.

The writers participating include Grace McLean, Rona Siddiqui, Paulo K. Tiról, Benjamin Velez, and Tidtaya Sinutoke, who are Jonathan Larson, Fred Ebb, ASCAP, and Dramatists Guild award winners. Tickets will support musical theatre writers' residencies in the Hudson Valley in 2023 and can be purchased at www.rhinebeckwriters.org.

Created in 2011, Rhinebeck Writers Retreat supports musical theatre writers with weeklong residencies in the Hudson Valley. Plus, Triple R gives one team 2 readings and a residency to compress development of their musical into a shorter time-frame. Musicals developed in Rhinebeck had productions at The Public Theater, Barrington Stage, Playwrights Horizons, La Jolla Playhouse, Philadelphia Theater Company, and Paper Mill Playhouse. All costs are covered by contributions, including an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, The New York State Council on the Arts, The ASCAP Foundation Bart Howard Fund, Concord Theatricals, The Noël Coward Foundation and The Wilke Family Foundation. Major individual support comes from Liz Armstrong, Rick Farrar and Jeff Zadroga, Molly McEneny, Liz and Bill Mills, Steve and Paula Reynolds, and Alex Robertson. www.rhinebeckwriters.org
